Balsa wouldn't be my first choice. And depending on what sort of motor you were thinking about, you may need to add some sort of spar- thin carbon rod, or even some strapping tape to keep it from fluttering.

Sure, they are called "profile".

Except they use 1/4" plywood or re-enforce the sides with 1/8" ply.
