I would like to see a construction article about that plane.
As would I. The fuselage sides look solid so I’m thinking balsa is improbable but not impossible. It flies much lighter then 6.5 kg though. Many people have a hard time believing my Divergent pattern airplane weighs just 4.5 kg being a fiberglass fuselage and balsa sheeted foam wing and stabs. All paint finish as well. That includes the 5100 mah 10 Lipo call battery. It took a few years to develop the fiberglass layup to be strong enough but not overbuilt.
