There are 2 other things I'm not real sure about. One is that the plans specify some Lite Ply to reinforce a couple of spots in the wing. I need a 12" x 12" 1.5mm Liteply sheet. Can anyone advise on somewhere local that i can get some of this or if I can substitue something else for it.

The last thing is that I need a spar for the main wing. It needs to be 3mm x 9mm x 914mm. The instructions say I need spruce but I can't seem to find any locally. What would I be able to substitute for this? I was thinking maybe some pine but don't know enough about it to be sure.

Mick - a few of the local hobby shops sell Liteply (or equivalent) sheets. I picked up some from Berg's in Parramatta - can't remember if it's actually 1.5mm though. A few of the other places a little further afield would probably also be good bets "HStore" (Caringbah) or Vaggs (Miranda) but they're a bit of a drive.

As for wing spars - you'd probably get spruce from the same place, but a carbon-fibre square section might be also a possibility if you've not already cut the recesses in the ribs: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store...oduct=8711
