    @lochlan918 I know. Just its balsa, which is what I have to use to build the plane.

    This is awesome. I made quite a few like this back when I was a kid. Pieced them together with T-pins and CA glue using wax paper on top of the schematics, and finished them off with that very thin tissue paper as skin :)

    Working on an RC plane in real right now, it's a Super Cub and your balsa structure is really realistic.
