Status: offline 		I've ordered the plans from www.danstanichmodels.net A 60 size Super Hots. Now, where can I get the balsa? Lone Star burnt down, right?. I know there are kit cutters out there, but after much research I have ideas, but that don't tell me which one won't screw me.. Give me some info, guys !! Thanks

Status: offline 		Since Lonestar burned I have gotten my balsa from National Balsa. They are higher than Lonestar was, but the quality is pretty good.

As for kit cutters, Laser Lizard has an excellent reputation.

Cornel Michaels does nice work also, but IMHO, is on the high side, but not as high as some of them.
