What sucks more than anything is im 16 years old so money isn't an endless pool. I need balsa wood for my custom jet that im framing and my lhs sells balsa wood streamer ( balsa sticks) for almost 1.50! Thats cheap alone but in bulk thats a ton of dough for me. My engineering teacher has at least 1200 streamers at his disposal that we never use and he won't give me 8! I hate it when im impatient to finish a plane and my resources have run dry![&:] Anyone else have this problem? ( oh and could i possibly use fiberglass to cover the wood cheeting on my plane? Or would monokote be better?
