3 HRS AGO - Hello everyone, I'm brand new to the forum but have been referencing it for a while now. Just thought i would share with you in this thread and add another type of wood. I am currently building 2 blades with a "Butternut" core. Here's the details:Butternut: Slightly Heavier, Harder and less elastic than Balsa. Fairly inexpensive.

We could have saved a lot of time if you had have just come out and said openly from the start that you want to say the CNT are dishonest/cheaters. Or maybe you have a more general prejudice against the whole country. Just say what you think then, you'd save everyone time.You keep talking about facts and maths but you've proven nothing. You're whole sideline thing is pointless, and you cannot tell better than anyone else here at what trajectory the ball bounced at, since you also only have this above camera angle.
