Building model airplanes out of balsa wood

Building model airplanes out of balsa wood can be as simple or as complicated as you want, depending on the level of detail you want your model to have. For beginners, it is better to start just building simple models in order to get practice working with balsa wood. The more advanced hobbyist will be more creative.
Look for a model plane blueprint or a template online (see References). Print out the template and cut out all the pieces using a pair of scissors.
Paste the template pieces on a sheet of balsa wood about the same size as a sheet of paper, about inches wide and inches long. Use a glue stick or multipurpose glue to paste the template pieces.
Cut out the balsa wood in the shape of the template pieces. Use a precision knife to cut the balsa wood.
Attach the different pieces of the balsa wood cutouts using multipurpose glue. Put glue on the tab in the fin tip and attach the fin tip to one end of the long fuselage piece. Put glue on one side of the short fuselage piece and attach it to the opposite end of the long ktjcdalkd fuselage piece. Put glue on the center of one side of the wing piece and attach it to the top edge of the fuselage. Allow time for the glue to dry.
