Creig! Look like you don't need any balsa edge truer at all. I saw pictures of your Pitts S12 and it is awesome plane as Bob said very streihgt one, so just take long heavy ruler and the knife, cut balsa holding knife as perpendicular as you can and save your money.
Good Luck!

I use my 4 foot level and tape 100 grit to one side of it with double sided tape.
