Many years ago I purchased 3 4'x8'x1/8" sheets from a local lumber yard. This was back in the Hurley Extra days, still have 1/2 sheet left. It was nice quality as well.
We were both surprised on how good the wood is and I mean zero voids. Really happy. One thing to mention these sheets were 60 by 60 inches square strange that was a first for me.

Ok the purest at hart will not like it but as you know I am installing a DA120 two stroke into the plane, sorry. But to try to keep the noise down as much as possible I will be installing a set of these. I like DA and it is mostly built in the USA , I believe the canisters will take up a lot of space in the cabin and the fuel tank may be difficult to install but time will tel.

At least it's not cheap mufflers. My 3W-106 is very quiet with KS/MTW (?) canisters. My DA-170 and 120 are on RE3'S, I don't do mufflers.

We are in the process of making the spars for the wings. Fond a nice plank of Sitka Spruce for the job. Not an easy wood to cut along the grain.
spent some time yesterday to see how things all fit together took a while but it goes together. Now I just have figured out how to glue it all together properly. I must restrain my self just playing around will start building in December some time.

Installed or I should say put the canisters in the location that they will be installed. Final position will be determined when I get my hands on the motor. Need to make motor box for the extract location relative to the cowl.
Then will make the necessary brackets to support the canisters.
