Folks,

I'm in the process of building a few 110-120 sized pattern airplanes. Currently working on a Black Magic 110, with a Boxer 120 sitting on the shelf waiting it's turn. I understand that normally pattern airplanes have foam core wings covered with 1/16" balsa. I have some Obechi veneer sitting in the shop, and am wondering why this material used lots for sheeting foam-core glider wings wouldn't make good sheeting for a pattern airplane. Any thoughts or ideas from more experienced folks?
