Hello All,
The fact that Balsa trees grow so fast, and therefor a renewable resource, can entire aircraft be built from BALSA?
Balsa wood can be had for $1.00 a board foot in my little Caribbean island, so it is cheap as no one uses it here.
I guess for spars it will have to be pretty big to be strong enough.
thanks
David.
