Had i known that they were going to be so hard to find, i wouldn't have used A10 motors on the last one's found in my basement.

If you want to get really cheap, instead of 1/16th balsa just use popsicle sticks (craft sticks) for fins.
A little extra weight won't hurt the performance that much.
That will also cut the building time from 20 minutes to 15!
