Default RE: AR6 Q40 giveaway

Hello All,

Just wanted to share something, I knew that wood selection was important but didnt know HOW important it was.

As I wasnt real happy with the last bunch of wing skin wood that I bought I ordered some from another supplier, Lone Star Balsa.
I was very happy when I looked at it but even happier when I weighed it.

I took enough to make the wing skins for one airplane from the old supplier and the same amount from the new supplier and weighed it. I know that I only use about 1/2 of it and the rest is scrap but it should still get the wing to under 1 pound wih paint and servo. NICE! I can now use the weight somewhere else.

I just talked to Ken Busse ( the one that won the airplane) and he has a new Jett motor on the way to me and I will have his sons airplane ready for October Whittier race.

Dave E.

P.S. Three more are coming along nicely also.
