Quite a few designs call for Reed cane in its structure,the only real problem is getting hold of this material as it is no longer sold in model shops,just go to one of those pound stores and buy yourself a Chinese blind,take it home and cut through the pieces to give you enough stock for years.
You can build tail sections from two laminations of this material held around a thick card template,same for rudders,use balsa stock for the sternpost and balsa for the ribs,looks really good on first world war aeroplanes.
The strength to weight ratio is second to none.
