See I am just the opposite. I like cruise around planes. One of my favorites were the Senioritas I had. Just an FP-25 for power. I loved to sit on my tailgate and watch that plane make its way slowly across the sky. I have a Bridi 25 size Aircruiser I will put back in service as soon as my switch and airborne battery get here from Tower. I started the engine last night just to hear it run. It has a 14oz wingloading and lands at a walk.

Where are you getting blocks of balsa wood? And how are you cutting it to keep it precise on the thickness? Do you position your would so you can get A,B and C cuts from the wood?
