Major Score in Huntsville....Sorry Ty
« on: October 18, 2021, 08:44:17 AM »
I am visiting my corporate office for a few weeks in Huntsville AL. Visited the local hobby shop which is one of the best I have seen in years. Great inventory.

Anyway, I cam across 16 sheets of contest 1/16" x 4" balsa.

When I approached the front desk to pay, the shop owner said, wow somebody who knows what they are looking at and bought it.

was not cheap....but it was nice stuff so I bought all I could

Sorry Ty y1

Ty,

just trying to get a little rise out of you :)

I am still down through the 27th but my wife is along with me....maybe i will able to break away for a while over the weekend if the weather is good.

Balsa is just really hard to find and I was about out of my contest grade so I jumped on.

The guy at the red barn told me the only folks that are building these days were the CL guys

Bob,

I think that would make a fine model for Brodak.
