Is the wing from balsa, or from biofoam also? You might want to put a layer of clear packing tape on the foam. I once had a wing (FT Nutball) fold up n me - after the tape it was much stronger Title: Re: j3 piper cub foam plane for 2014 sweepstakes! Post by: kiran rc on April 26, 2014, 11:40:27 PM Thanks Sir. Wing is made up of balsa.i have already posted the pic of the wing before covering.
