Foam core blasa sheeting 43" sport wing - does it works
Hi,
I'm scratch building balsa planes sometimes. This time I was thinking to make the wing using lightweight (white )foam core sheeted with 1.5mm ( 1/16") balsa. Than cover with some oracover or smilar.
My concern is - would it become too heavy for a small plane of 1100mm (43" ) wingspan ?
Could you share some technique to reduce weight or alternatives of laminating foam core that would reduce weight?
I can also think of laminating with fiberglass but I expect that may become even heavier than balsa sheeting.
Thanks
