I’ve ordered the balsa needed to build the Cold Duck from Dynamic Balsa ( http://www.dbalsa.com/ ) and also the foam wing core. Everything was in stock so I should have the order in a few days. Meanwhile, I started building the horizontal and vertical stab. I’m using my vintage, tattered and yellowed RCM plans but new Cold Duck plans are still available from the RC Modeler Magazine plan service at http://www.rcmmagazine.com/e/env/000...ore-plans.html plan number 462.

The horizontal stab is built typical of the “Classics” using a ¼ balsa frame and covered with 1/16 balsa sheeting. I’m using the very lightest balsa available.
