Now the fun part begins. I love working with Balsa wood. It is great for building boats, planes and just about anything. My funnest balsa wood project was building a glider with a 6 ft. wing span. It was constructed from a pre punched kit and actually flew pretty well. Repairs are easily made to the occasional crash when using balsa wood. It is surprisingly strong for such a soft wood. Of course the design has a lot to do with the strength of any fabricated product. I am not an engineer but I do understand the value of well designed components.






Here are the cut outs ready to be glued together. The body assymbly.
