RE: EDF Airliner build thread
To re-iterate the point which Ian is making:
The Original EDF Models do NOT use balsa. The original kit is PERFECTLY fine to build and fly an outstanding aircraft.
In fact adding balsa to the model would make it heavier and unless you are experimenting like myself, I would NOT recommend it.
The 301 kit I am assembling is an experimental model, which is being assembled more like a display model, rather than a kit one would fly at the park on the weekend. Although, it will still be flight worthy, it is NOT as robust as the original 301kit; in a crash, the original kit would likely survive with a few scratches, but my plane will almost certainly disintegrate.
For those of you out there, please be warned: I am NOT recommending any changes to the kit. The original design is excellent and does not need any changes at all.
