Balsa Model Airplane
question regarding balsa wood model airplane kits?
I have been a plastic modeler for 30 plus years and I have always been interested in balsa wood display models but I'm not to familiar with some of basics. Looking at the guillows website and the products they offer I have the following questions
1. when you buy the kits do they come with an outer skin and if not what are you supposed to use to cover the bare wood framing
2. what kind of glue is used to hold them together
3. what tools will be needed to complete the kit
I imgine these kits are paintable but not knowing what the skins are made of makes it hard to know if what I have will work or not
any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated
The basic model kits from Guillows, Dare, SIG, and others are still available from Hobby shops but
not like the good ole days. I have been at it 60 years and most models were the stick & tissue
type. It is really important that you sand the completed frame to look nice. The outer skin is usually
hi-grade silkspan tissue paper made of unidirectional long fibers. It is extremely strong material.
Most manufacturers suggest white glue or the standard carpenters tan glue. Pins are necessary
to hold down parts as glue dries. To complete the kit you will need razor blades, sand paper
and rubber bands. The completed model that is framed and covered can be painted with a water-
based clear laquer. Ordinary water-based modellers paints can be used for final colors. Sand the
model between coats of paint. If careful attention to detail and construction is used the little
first time model should fly nicely.

cnc cutting balsa plane
designs to make an airplane?
I need a disign to make an airplane. I'm trying to design one with two large wings i nthe front, and 2 smaller ones in the back. Possibly adding a tail to it. It's needs to be made out of balsa wood, wings of tissue paper, and it has a propeller on the front powered by a rubber band. I am trying to make one for my science fair project, but I need an effective model to do my testing, so I need to minimize human error. I've tried a couple designs, but does anyone else have any ideas?
Is it a science project or do you want a flying model plane?
If you just want a flying model as an example, why not buy a kit?
I used google to search for "model aircraft plans balsa wood" and got thousands of hits, many of them could be useful to you. For example: http://www.jitterbuzz.com/navion.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_aircraft
One key factor to understand if you're going to design a plane yourself is "balance". You want your plane to fly forward, not looping up or down. The center of gravity will need to be roughly at one third of the leading edge of your main wing, the far end wing will have to be adjusted so that the plane's balance is perfect.
The propellor and rubber band will have a high mass (relative to the rest of the plane) and you could adjust the length of the tail to compensate for this. The longer the tail, the less force you need to keep things balanced. See this: http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/WindTunnel/Activities/balance_of_forces.html
I love this shit! I wish Kinston was filthy like this, with human shit on the sidewalk and in abandoned houses, and beer bottles and crack needles in our godfucking alleys! I GOT A GODFUCKING DEMON LIVING INSIDE OF ME WHO THRIVES OFF-A SHIT LIKE THIS, goddammit! Don't like it, stick your own dick up your godfucking ass!
