Joker's asked me to help herd the cats on the FT Forum Balsa Build Along for this fall (spending too much time on the road for work I think) and tossed out a neat idea.
How about we show some love for our newest kit-cutter in the industry and do a Willy-Nillie's build theme? They have lots of kit options, all sized for 1806 or .049 motors which keeps costs down, and range from high speed racers to sporty aerobats. And he's got a warbird and a cub coming out soon - working hard on 4 or 5 new releases for November!
So what'cha all think? Want to make some balsa dust?
To join in just post your intentions and kit choice in this thread, and start a build thread here in the Balsa Builders and Breakers forum so we can all follow along!
List of Entrants and Build Thread Links So Far (you can be next!)
And hey everyone - look at this incredibly generous offer from our sponsor!


Timeframe for the Build Along is roughly starting on November 9th and going through the end of January (maybe February?). You don't need to start on day one to participate, and no need to keep things to just one build either (although the generous sponsor offer might apply just to the first build you undertake - let's help a small business grow and not take advantage of 'em, eh?)
Happy building!
