The 1/16" square balsa stringer in Guillow's kit are very fragile and easy to break.

In building my Series 400 Spitfire I'm using basswood replacements from Tower Hobbies. Any additional weight will be a fraction of an ounce over balsa.

PN# LXAS95 - 60 - 24" stringers @ $16.79 (A perfect size for my Spitfire)

Indra:

My 400 series Spit' has a larger wingspan and will easily manage with all basswood stringers.

Yah I understand as my T28 only has a 16" span and I will be using one of the lightest 4 channel systems around.
My electrics including battery weigh about 2/3 of an ounce
