I am looking at building a remote control airplane(actually a gyro plane as the principles behind it are much easier.) However I would like to get some advice about what materials to use for the fusilage(I am guessing that I should make it as light as possible.) I was thinking that I would just use the engine found on this site for the two but I was wondering if there is anything important I kneed to know about engines and should I look for better ones.

Finally any advice from pros would be great especially on things like radio control etc.

balsa wood is fragile but light,so if you are going to use balsa you better not crash it! aluminum will work.I THINK I WILL DO SOMETHING SIMALAR TO THAT I AM PLANNING RIGHT NOW.

Just don't fly it near woods, or you might loose it, OK? I had one a while back, and we accidentally flew it into the woods, due to the wind.
