Pre-shaped balsa still available?

Postby Deadstick Dave » Thu Feb 10, 2011 12:05 pm

I recall building with pre-shaped balsa on leading and trailing edges.

I have set of "Baby Ringmaster" plans and would like to build from them ergo my interest in pre-shaped balsa.

If no longer available may the parts be made with a router or Dremel and are bits available to do so?

Thanks, Deadstick

When I worked at HobbyTown USA they had pre-shaped leading and trailing edges. Don't recall sizes or prices.

The best there is:

www.lone-star balsa. They had a fire but are now back again.
Great balsa and very good prices.

flywright:

The link doesn't open because access is required and, if I can't open the link, how can I gain access.

"Catch 22" all over again. :roll:
