The wing is sheeted with 1/16 balsa, the fuselage is strip planked with 3/32 balsa. This is a .45 to .60 size airplane, do not try to fly it with an old weak .45.

It will be a fun sport flier, a Sport Scale competitor, or it can be built to be a Scale competitor. The laser cut kit comes with full size CAD plans with templates for all the parts.
