Default RE: 7th worlds

RCM&E did an article on the Firefly FB, RFJ will probably find which one before I can, but that fuselage is a hollowed balsa log, you got shares in a balsa factory? Nice model otherwise, but likely to suffer a bit against modern designs, high rudder position looks a good candidate for a bit of proverse roll etc. I have seen the mag plans, got them somewhere, certainly stand out on the flightline...
Evan.
Most of the fuselages from that era were balsa logs, and that's one of the things that appeals to me. I like to carve and sand balsa, I get a lot of satisfaction from it. There's just something about shaping balsa into a fine flying machine! I hope that someone can offer up a set of Fire Fli plans.
