So the balsa strips are cut from 1/32 inch sheet and stipped 1/16 inch tall (approximately). The nice part about using the balsa stripper is that each strip is exactly the right height so when assembling the model the sticks all fit together really well. The lightest one was about 146 milligrams the heaviest one about 360 milligrams- about 3x the weight! The sponge on top of the scale allows for very accurate weighing, if you ever get into F1D or indoor free flight where the entire MODEL weighs about 1.2 grams to 1.4 grams without the motor. Balsa selection for that is not at the level of F1D which is relatively speaking very simple.
This build is complete and ready for paint.
