It would be great material to use on an airframe that large, Basswood plywood It is really great stuff to work with in conjunction with balsa wood and I have never laminated over Basswood with glass and resin, there just hasn't been a need too. Last time I looked it was in the $130.00 range for a 4' X 8' sheet and I think you can purchase it in 4' X 4' sheets as well. I am one of those guys that is fanatical on keeping every oz. off the airframe, I have done many giant scale airframe build threads talking about the use of that plywood and lightening techniques throughout the structures. Here are just couple of pics from 1 or 2 of those threads showing engine boxes, fuselage construction, and wing core lightening application. By the way, the finished fuselage in these photos is 144" long.
