Balsa plywood was offered in the 1970's by a couple of firms. Only advantage was in that it was sort of rigid, but more difficult to sand. As thin Birch plywood was also available, it died a natural death.

I have made my own balsa plywood to use as fuslage formers for light weight electrics. I made 3 ply pieces and cut the buklheads from it. Worked fine for me and gave me a use for scraps of 1/16 balsa sheets.
