Plywood for R/C Airplanes – What Type Should I Use?
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008Recent discussions with friends and on message boards regarding the common types of plywood used to build R/C airplanes led me to think that a short treatment of the subject would be helpful.
There are three primary types of commercially available plywood common to R/C airplane construction, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Those three are: aircraft grade birch, interior grade birch, and poplar plywood better known as "lite" plywood.
