Yep and it takes a beating too. I've made some hard landings both bounces and nose first. The most damage I've done so far to the balsa was the air scoop being knocked off which occured when the nose touched down hard first. The propellor broke during this too but that's easy to fix. Just whip out a new propellor and glue the scoop back on. I really shouldn't have been flying in gusty wind like that. The approach was good and steady heading into the wind and just as it was about to touch the wind stopped suddenly and down it went.
On my good landings with no wind, I really like the way I can flare it for a jetliner style landing.
