Final Words

If you have taken anything away from this program / review it’s to go out and give balsa building a try. What’s the worst, you are out $120. I got back into balsa building last winter after a 20+ year break and have been having a Blast. What better way to spend the long, dark, cold winter months stuck indoors. Hey if you are brave enough like me get out and enjoying some brisk winter flights too. Until next time guys Fly Safe and See You At The Field!
