MikeM99, Thanks for the info on the Balsa Stripper! I just ordered one and spare blades. I've been using a cheap balsa strip tool for years and the blade holder is worn out.

Willy, I got out my plans for the Hot Hots, OH MAN... I wonder if I have focus enough to build two planes at once? (This and the Super Decathlon)
I'll keep watching your progress, and remembering my enjoyment from previous Hot Hots days.
Have you decided on the engine?
