Here's what you do when you have more time than money, and a whole lot of scrap balsa--you make stuff rather than buy it. I decided to try to make the engine nacelle inlet nozzles instead of buying the pre-made fiberglass versions. To get the most out of my scrap 1/4" balsa, I made 1/4 ring patterns, cut the wood with a jigsaw, then glued them together to get seven rings which, when stacked, give me the full depth of the nozzle. The inside diameters are the same, which makes for easy alignment, and the outside diameters closely match the final shape. It worked out pretty good, so the second nozzle is underway.
