Default Midwest Balsa - Craft Plywood 'no aircraft use'

I purchased a 6x12 piece of 1/8" plywood from Michael's Craft Store tonight and the label has 'no aircraft use' on it. Why is this not for aircraft use?

Because there is such a thing as aircraft grade ply and they don't want it confused with craft ply.

You can use it for MODEL airplane use if you like. They just don't want the liability if you use it in a human-carrying airplane.

Ah - I was being a little short sighted there with thinking of RC aircraft and not considering full scale.

Thanks,

If you check the wood it will be 3 ply not 5 ply I got some there good for formers. Need the 5 ply for fire walls
