Default shocky out of balsa sheet?

Is this possible... building a shocky out of 3mm balsa sheeting instead of using 3mm depron?


Thanks

Of course you can. Keep in mind you want out of Balsa what Depron offers, light weight and stiffness. A good contest grade Balsa may be light enough. It would be a interesting comparison which has probably already been done. Keep in mind Depron has a finish of sorts built in and that is a positive in the weight control area.
