Hi Everyone

Here is a tip for curving the balsa I got from Bryan Hebert. Brush the balsa to be formed with amonia and water and then tape it to a curve of similiar shape lt it try and it takes the shape better. It actually works I did it on the Quest

Thanks

Troy
Yep, been doing that since the 70s.

but for some reason when I tried it on my prototype, it just didn't want to go with the curve.

It's worth a try though, it would be lighter AND stronger. I used to do my Tempests that way.
