been building flying fixed wing aircraft models since 1950 and yes, balsa *IS* best ... so far. that is, until a better replacement is found or cooked up in some lab. but i would never ever dis foamies - they're cheap, quick, easy, FUN - and if built reasonably right will fly just fine ... but they ain't balsa stick 'n' tissue/film - ain't NOTHING as good fixed wing balsa models, for far too many reasons. as always, YMMV ... but nah, balsa is best.
