Hi Bill, Bob and Tapio,
Thanks for your suggestion. Its look like that F1M will be better due to our limitation on material. There is no regulation on motor stick construction on F1M, so we can choose the one (solid, tube or other) that could match to the target of minimum weight based on balsa we have.
If possible, I will try to build both for the exhibition.
I have some plans of F1M from Indoor News. Is there any other plan available on the net?

Gayus

            I 100% agree. F1M can be built out of selected hobby-shop wood, even the

thinner (say 0.5mm) sheet needed for rolled fuselage tubes can be quite

easily sanded from thicker sheet, with a sandingblock that has quides to

limit the thickness, using light and repeated strokes to avoid crushing

the wood.



The Moustique, for which drawings and detailed building instructions can

be found on the net, is an excellent starter for F1M class. One of those

under belt, one can proceed to tubular fuselages (Moustique uses a solid

stick), larger tails and longer fuselages.
