Default RE: Balsa - foamy ?????

Sort of..

I just got one of these:

I got a red CM 3D30.

Its an awesome plane, and its balsa construction.

I would say it would qualify as a "woodie" AUW is 15-17oz, which is within foamy weight for some planes.

Quique recently released a "woodie" version of his famous YAK...quite impressive.

Balsa planes look really nice, but if you smack it, its alot more work to put it back together.
