Your work looks Awsome . Is the whole thing Balsa wood, if it is how strong will it be compared to hulls like the Vs-1 & others that are made of Birch plywood ?.

[F1 madness]

Alrite bud,only the top of the canopy and nose are balsa,then used 1/4 marine grade ply bulkheads,the rest is then 2mm & 3mm lite-ply.
Cant compare it to others as iv never seen them close up,but its fairly strong and light

daz looking good, good luck tonight on the sanding and preping, ttyl todd
