Wendell Hostetler 35% RV-4 Build
I started to build my Hostetler RV-4 this week and decided I would share my build with the rest of you who have questions. I ordered most of my balsa thru a company called Balsa Wood Inc. I am have never used them before but the prices are super cheap so I decided to give them a try. The little bit they did not have I ordered thru Balsa USA. The plans have a detailed materials list so ordering was easy. I decided to start with the fuselage. I use a product called SEE TEMP for making plastic templates for all the fuse formers. I started by making these templates and cutting my formers out of 1/8" balsa. The frame of the the fuse is made out of 1/4" x1/4" sticks and the center section is filled solid with 1/4" sheeting. I have completed one side and half of the other. More to come as the build continues.
