Materials for Model Aiprlanes

Laser cutting and engraving are very well suited to model airplane applications.

Laser cutting your next design allows you to:

  • Produce extremely accurate parts
  • Take advantage interlocking design and construction techniques
  • Engrave part numbers directly on the parts for easy reference during the build
  • Mark reference lines directly on the part
  • Much, much more...

Below is a table with our commonly stocked and available material sizes.  All the lengths are 24".  An "x" indicates a size that we stock regularly.  An "r" indicates a size that is available upon request.  If you have needs for a particular grade of balsa, i.e. heavy, contest, etc., we will source the material that you need.  If you have questions, or need materials not identified below, let us know and we will do our best to work with your needs.
