Well that was a great video. I built my wings and ailerons as one on my Youngster and only cut the ailerons free when I had to bond on their leading edge.

It's a flying machine so of course it's gorgeous. A simple machine which was designed with one purpose in mind - to provide cheap fun flying.

Nice video. Do you know of a good source of hoop pine in South East Queensland ?

Paddy says he gets his Hoop Pine from Zenith Timbers in North Maclean, south of Brisbane. He also can get some Timbers from Mitre 10 in Toowoomba. He mentions to be careful to check for grain run off and knots etc.

@@donwtsn Thanks for the info. There is actually an aeronautical specification for hoop pine that can guide the section of the timber with regards to grain slope, density and defects. It was developed back in WWII. Thanks again for the very informative video.
