1/32 of balsa. I do not think I would worry about it. Many of those planes were built that way.

Where are you in VA?

The support that goes between the sides and engine box can I continue to build the fuse?

your servo projection will be more than adequate. everyone seems to be going the 170 route with these nowadays but i am absolutely positive that the 3w 157 will be AWESOME on this rig for you! use the setup you are planning on and ROCK OUT!

good luck and happy flying.

Are you going to use cans/pipes? If so what do you think you are going to use?
