Balsa wood sizes
Re: Balsa wood sizes
boron fibers wont help unless what theyre supporting doesnt have to hold much weight. f1ds use them on wing posts only because the wing is .3 grams. but when the wing is .8 or so grams for a sci oly plane, boron fibers wont help much. music wire possibly could. i havent done it before, but its just a thought.
