Josh,
Unfortunately, we have our Science Olympiad​ State Tournament on Saturday,
April 28, so we can't come. Otherwise, it would be a good opportunity for
our kids to come and learn. I suppose we could come on Sunday the 29th,
but we will be worn out from the previous day's events.
I have just a little 1/32" thick balsa. Mostly I have lots of 1/16"
thick balsa that I strip to 1/32" wide. What density is good for bending?
Should I strip the 1/32" thick balsa to be 1/32" wide also? (1/32" x
1/32")?
Thanks,
David
