okume vs mahogony ply: comparative properties

Post by matherp »

I'm asking this on behalf of a French Wittman Tailwind builder who has access to Okume ply in 2.5mm, 3mm and 3.2mm thicknesses. The plans call for 3/32" (2.4mm) mahogony. Can anyone let me have any comparative data on the two types of ply. The wings in the Tailwind are fully sheeted and the 3/32 mahogony is used for this.

Thanks
Peter

Can I suggest that you contact Richard Mole, he has posts on here, latterly in the sales/wants category, he's been absent lately but he may be able to help.
