RE: contest balsa weights?
My last Lone Star order was pretty good as well.
The average density on the bundle of 42 sheets of 1/16 was over 7#. But if I removed the 5 heaviest sheets, then the average was easily under 6#. Not bad overall...
If you can do wing skins from 5# sheets, AND you mind your glue weight, LE/TE weights, wing root weight, servo mount weight, linkage weight, etc...you have a real good shot at some pretty light wings. If you get under 14 oz flying weight with film covering it's very good. With care under 13 oz flying weight is possible!
