Hi Dave,
must have been an interesting crash, with the balsa-parts going up into the sky. I also had a nice crash with a Fokker Dr 1. I flew my Halberstadt, which is quite a strong airframe. As we crashed together, the Fokker was "raining" down in 1000 parts, my Halberstadt lost one upper wing and was able to land safely.

O.k. lets go on with the Scout. Next we did the fuselage from lite-ply, spruce stringers and balsa. After fixing the lower wing, I put it all together on grandma´s old balance. Until here we got less than 1 lb ! The total weight of the whole plane is 1250 gramms ready to fly. If I calculate correctely, this is less than 3 lb. And I was thinking, coroplast was very light!
