Looks great! I built two similar cranks out of cedar and they didn't run great. Did you weight yours down a bunch? Also what did you fill the slot with?

I sealed the balsa twice with sherwin Williams sanding dealer and cut the slot by hand filled the belly in like 8 spots with lead I think to talked like 5/8 oz or something plus stainless wire through then I use plastic welder cream colored epoxy to fill entire slot except bill I use clear devcon 2ton 5 min
