Default Lonestar Balsa
This is simple. Is Lonestar Balsa coming back or not?

It been 6 months since the fire. There is no information or updates on their website. I don't think they will be back. I sure hope I'm wrong.....

They are done but I believe Nelson has picked up Lonestar's stock. I have no idea if they plan to continue offering balsa or if they simply are selling off what was left from Lonestar.

I saw a post over at RCscalebuilder that he has decided to retire, Lone Star is no more.

I Thank all of you for the helpful info. The Lone Star balsa was cut so well. A real loss for scratch builders.

Most of the LoneStar balsa I worked with was cut extra long and extra wide, but not extra thick.
