My float Biuld
I started building on wednesday night. I used a foam core which doesn't abosrob ANY water at all and a thin balsa to cover up the foam. I think i will end up covering... They are 36" long and 2 inches deep. and 3 inches wide... I tested the one closest to being done and it easily held 5 pounds... The cub will weigh somewhere around 8 so i should be fine there. I hope to have there done by next week. Heres the pic

RE: My float Biuld
JRF, It is more on the soft side. It will bend instead of break. It seems to hold up pretty good. Will Test again tommrow when i cover the second one in balsa. Balsa is expensive, So i will be doing a ribbed design for the sides instead of 2 strips across
