[NSRCA-discussion] An education in balsa usage for pattern

[Dennis Bodary]

I don't know how much balsa is in a F1 car. But i do remember when i had a 1992 indy car. Long story. But it used a plywood skid plate.

Good idea guys- I'll see if I can get an inside scoop of what a pattern plane should have hanging of it......probably more like Nat's planes?

BTW-one of the local guys has tried a CPLR/F1 camera mount on his planes........he swears by it!!!!! Reckons it has increased the rudder authority, might also have been the pills he is on!

I'll give you an inside scoop on the McClaren guys-even the bosses of Mercedes make fun of the mute, monotone Raikonnen-but they seem to think the guy can drive. I did offer to drive for them for FREE-thinking obviously of the many millions they would save on their budget-hmmmmm still waiting for THAT phone call....hahahahaha

Wonder how much balsa they use in an F1 car???
