Hi! I'm new here, and I was wondering if you guys could help me out with something.

I bought a Cessna 177 from Aviomedelli, some 8 years ago, but never got around to building it. Well, I've finally re-developed my interest in r/c, and decided to build the poor guy siting under the bed for the last 8 years..

I did some online research and almost all references to the Cessna indicate that the wings are balsa-wood covered... well.. Mine aren't! Were theses older models or am I missing some balsa-wood??
