I am making this airplane out of cedar, actually fence boards from Home Depot. I go through them and get the best I can.
To make the wings, tail and all the flat parts I resawed the boards into strips and sent them all through my thickness sander in order to make plywood.
I made some 3 ply and 5 ply. 3 ply is 1/4" thick plies x 3/4" thick. 5 ply is 1/8" thick plies x 5/8" thick.
This one became the wing.
They look a lot better after I trim the ends off flush.
From the store the boards are roughly 5/8" thick. Most wound up just under 1/2" after the drum sander. I glued up several 2 plies of that for when I make the body of the plane.
I just felt like making a C 130 and jumped in. Makings plans as I go. I'll find out later what mistakes I'm making now.
