A quick and easy method to form curves/bends in balsa, so making sheeting of wings and fuselages easier, or even for custom cowls!
In the video I am using am Ammonia based cleaning liquid, which contains Ammonium Hydroxide 0.185% W/W. The ammonia softens the lignin in the wood, which allows the balsa wood to be shaped/formed.
It`s been a couple of weeks since I`ve last been out flying, so it was nice to get out and take advantage of a favorable wind and fly one of my old school slope soarers
