Don Fry Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 All the above reliable, but I did have a duff warped sheet from the balsa cabin in about 1990 as I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I buy from either, both good shops, Balsa Cabin do's best pins though, they're very posh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetenor Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Posted by Percy Verance on 11/04/2017 20:47:13: There's quality, and then there's Balsa Cabin's Contest Grade balsa. The normal grade is of course perfectly adequate for 95% of us but for those whom need that bit extra, Balsa Cabin can deliver. The Contest Grade wood is generally of slightly higher quality and is lighter, sheet for sheet than the normal grade. Unfortunately it costs more too........ Most of the time I'll go to SLEC or Balsa Cabin, and I get enough to last me a while......... I don't buy a great deal of strip balsa because I cut my own strip from the slightly harder sheet nobody wants This box looks like you bought out the LMS stock of BALSA BUNDLES A lot of fun could be had with tbem Many weird planes and boats were made using that stock LOL..... ny Edited By Percy Verance on 11/04/2017 20:51:10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuban8 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I don't live too far from Balsa Cabin so can pick up my wood and other stuff personally. I've seen the ladies putting together customers' orders - they really do know their stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
