Good article. But not all Balsa USA are for experts:-)

The most common mistake (one I have done) is to build two right (or left) sides of a fuse. I did that with a Goldberg Cub eons ago. Fortunately the solution is easy, find someone that has the same kit to be built, and swap your fuse side for the wood needed our of your friend's kit. He gets an already built side, and you get the wood to build the OTHER side. I think many of us did this mistake once. (I never heard of somebody making this mistake more than once).

when buuilding kits, one has to be like the Inspector Cousteau (Pink Panther). He never committed the same mistake twice. He always committed new mistakes...
