    T-Pin BuilderBlocks by BalsaBuilder Magazine 3D Print Model

    Summary
    These builderblocks are super useful right angle pin blocks that readily accept DU-BRO’s small 1-inch “T” Pins #252. BuilderBlocks are used in model airplane stick construction and support the Lavoie Method of Stick building. See BalsaBuilder Magazine Issue 8 for more information on this method. Lavoie also offers a selection of great works on YouTube describing this method. Have fun out there!
