Ok, I am going to attempt and build my first scratch built plane. Two questions. What kind of material should I build it from(fan fold, blue cor)? I want it to be a aerobatic parkflyer. Second question is how to get the airfoil even throughout. Thanks.

Jaffa,

First things first . . . . . choose the plane you want to build . . . . find plans for such . . . . follow advice on plans for material selection.

Cut ribs exact, build flat and square, and the wing should be "even throughout".

I thought the first step was to plant a balsa tree. :D
