Just need some opinions.

Am soon going to build a 1/2 a sized Kadetito, sort of a mini sized Kadet. It has the typical Kadet birdcage rear fuselage and plans call for the upper and lower frame members to be out of 1/8" spruce. But no spruce or even 1/8 bass to be had anywhere in town.

Do you think I could take a hard balsa 1/8" stick and harden it with soaked in thin CA? Would this make it pretty strong?
