Title: balsa
Post by: Bootlegger on August 10, 2011, 10:07:52 AM

  Fellow's where do you get your balsa and why do you buy it there?  I am looking for some 3/8x4x36"in a "c" grain preferably in a 5-7 lb range, it will be used for fuse construction.
            Thank's, Gil

 National Balsa can handle this Gil. I go there because they have quality balsa and the 2 hour drive helps. I have yet to have any complaints dealing with them. They are also a sopporter here.

I second that!

I do miss the 'old' Sig contest grade stuff. Guess that quality is gone for ever.
