Default RE: Balsa-sheeted foam core wing ?

BSFCW have an incredible amount of rigidity and torsional resistance. For a fast flying bird its one good way to go. The drawback is that they are slightly heavier than conventional buildup wings. Also when installing retracts, it can get tedious making channels and sliding plumbing inside the foam core.
