I think ABS molded aeroplanes are not crash resistant It is difficult to get is repaired in case of crash as compared to balsa made
My experience says nothing safer and stronger than ABS. Balsa models if crashed from 150 feet nose down the ground you cant seperate its elevator and nose
but My ABS (TT 40) crashed nosedown from more than 150 feet and it took just an hour to reair that with a 3 minute expoxy.
