Sport Pilot Talk

Hello pilots.

I would like to hear your opinions, ideas, suggestions.

I have a possibility to sell okume plywood with 2 types of glue phenolic and normal. High quality plywood. I will build my plane with this plywood.

Fine thickness, 1.5 mm (0,060"), 2mm (0,078"), 2.5mm (0,098") and 3mm (0,011")
The size plywood produce is 2.500x1.200 (98,5" x 47,24"). Density 450 kg/m3

Could I sell it in pieces cutting it in half.

Could it be of interest to all aircraft builders?.

What do you think?.

thanks

I would think that if you can build and fly a successful experimental aircraft with this plywood, and post design information online, that will improve your chances of marketing the plywood as a viable aircraft construction material. Good luck!

Cut in half it might bo to small for some applications, but the smaller pieces would be just right for the model airplane/hobbyist market.

I don' know if you are considering selling the wood in your country or exporting it to the US. The Gibson Guitar company has had a huge legal problem with imported wood. The US government seized a large shipment from India because of questions of where it came from and how it was processed. I do not know if this would be a problem with your wood and your company. I do know that if the wood is seized, the chances of getting it released are small.

Hello Jim.

the wood is 100% legal, is okume, in thicknesses thick, is used in houses, furniture, boats, shelves, in europe, usa, asia .....
Aircraft Spruce, also sells. but very expensive, and has thin plywood (fine 0,060")

no problem.
