After some medical issues I am back at my project. I could use one set of front and rear wing spars. Actually I need to replace them. Kind of mandatory with all the cracks I found. I know about Wag Aero's pre-made ones and have looked into buying spruce material and doing it myself. Like everyone, I am trying to keep the costs down. This would be a first time thing doing my own spars (Under my IA's supervision). I am wondering whether I should attempt this, how difficult it really is and should I just spring for the ready made ones, AND, if anyone had a good set they would like to part with. Also looking for a set of sealed struts. I know about the place in Alaska and Wag Aero's inspection process, but one of mine has a splice in it from way back when (I owned this airplane in 73 -74 and it was there at that time).
Thoughts and input?

Need 46 BC12-D spars

#1Nefj40 commentedEditing a commentIf you're close to Ohio, Forrest had a bunch 6 months ago. I don't know what stage of completion they're in, but it would definitely be cheaper. When it comes to building your own from scratch, I don't have any knowledge in that area.

#2LostnSpace commentedEditing a commentI made a new set for my BC12-D, it was a fair amount of wood work, cause the butt end of the spar is dished down and a doubler is glued and nailed in there to bring the thickness back to the original thickness, it is also a good time to get the STC for Barnstormer in Texas, Terry Bowden, that way if you or someone after you wants a C-85 install the part in side the wing will be done, are you anywhere near Atlanta, GA ?
