Hi Guys,
I bought a sheet of 3/8" birch plywood the other day but it's 5 ply instead of 7 ply. It's for a landing gear attach plate and a firewall. I think it's fine for the landing gear attach plate but what about the firewall? I only mention it because I noticed just now that the plans call for 7 ply but I'm thinking 3/8" 5 ply is still plenty for a 100cc if I use fender washers to prevent crushing on the back and a nice broad mount to help the bearing loads on the front side.
Opinions?
