Bigbird1, If you want a good plane for balsa work, look in Micro Mark. They have one that uses double edge razor blades that will shave paper thin shavings off the work. The plane itself is cast out of pot metal and I spent a little time polishing the foot to make it smooth but it is the best tool I have ever found to shape leading edges and wing tips.
===================================
I have one like that now...
Only I think it's a Solington...(probably mispelled)
Kind of a metalic blue...cast, uses razor blades.
You're right...best thing since sliced bread...
Took a few times to adjust the blade, but once their, nnnooooo problem at all..
