Just remembered it from doing a few NoCals a couple years back.  My grand-sons loved the NoCals till they learned about tablets and computers!!!

Paul and Ralph Bradley have a great site for NoCal's, sheet models printed directly on balsa from inkjet printers, plans, paint schemes printed on tissue and various technical references.  Here's a link to their hot/wet bending balsa for various airplane uses: Click Here  for the site

The article on hot/wet bending balsa can be found here: Click Here

I've seen references to this technique to form wingtips, etc. However, I haven't found much in the way of how to do this.

Does anyone use this method, and if so, how?
