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.
With a wind speed of 30 mph plus on the top of the hill, I just had to fly the Ron Broughton designed Balistik, a 60" chevron wing designed for EPP60 man on man racing
