During the month of October, when I aquired an existing project (partially built fuse) and a box of spruce and plywood for 2500.00. Pretty good deal on just the wood.
The Fuselage was stored high under the uninsulated roof of a North Texas Hanger. We figure it was exposed to 160 degree radiant heat for many summers of Texas tripple digits convection heating the top of that.
I spent a couple months taking the entire thing apart and repairing. I decided it would be prudent to begin fresh. I will however reuse the 1/2 birch plywood formers.
