| Plans, but not from a kit...
Hope I'm not being too boring posting these questions, but a lot are coming to mind. More accurately, they have been in mind for YEARS! and I didn't know where to get them answered!
Anyway, I only ever built anything (withone exception) that flew, from a kit.
There's the kit, there's the wood, and I built 'it'. So how do you go about choosing balsa and materials for the plans you might get from a magazine, say?
I'm presuming that you have a feel for the right stock to use for X job, and just get on with it? I should really like, some way in the future, to build a plane from a plan I bought (JU52), but am a bit lost when it comes to the balsa to buy. I wouldn't know what size balsa to but for stringers, for example.
I don't want to burden any forums members here, and please be assured that I am not just relying on these forums to answer my queries - I am looking around for books on building ff planes.
That said, thanks for your time.
