• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I just received new plans SA-300 Starduster II and reading the material list (version 10-12-98) I was confused about some errors or inaccuracies. I'm sure that with the hardware in the hands there are no doubts any more ...

Could someone help me or maybe send me a corrected material list? I just want to be sure to start correctly.

Below some questions:
- sheet 2, item 44: thickness should not be .25" instead .025"?
- sheet 6, item 43: thickness = .090" or 1/4"?
- sheet 7, item 84: Alum. sheet = 2024T3 or 6061T4?
- sheet 7, item 85: can be made of Mahogany instead Birch Plywood?
- sheet 7, item 87: What does "ST" mean? T3?
- sheet 3, item 98: thickness should not be .25" instead .025"?
- sheet 5, item 24: "Marine" mahogany... is not the same material as "Aircraft" mahogany 5Plies? or different?
- sheet 5, item 5: can be done with Al. thickness .025" instead .032? standard part provided by Aircraft Spruce.


PS: It's my first project and I am aware that I have a lot to learn...

Many thanks in advance
Gérard
