Where to buy Balsa, spruce, ply etc.
« Reply #15 on: June 09, 2008, 12:40:36 PM »
Hi Fred,

I didn't knew you dealed with the site! :) If not i would contact you at first place.
Yes i understand the 10pc thing.

Part of this stuff is for the glider, last time i went to PT i bought some film there and i also got some servos. They are a bit big in heigh so that is the need for some ply to raise the mount were they go.
And also because i managed to fit my GP Reflections shockflyer in the bag, and i now need to do a firewall for the motor. :) Some 3 or 4mm ply needed.
The balsa is to repair some parts i noticed that were broken in the wing when i removed the cover film. I think it's 1.5 or 2mm balsa.

Thanks!

Nando

Well, if you don't need a lot, I have bits and pieces of 3mm plywood and 2mm balsa in my garage !
Next time we meet, just remind me, and I'll bring a bunch for you !
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!
