Default Ordering balsa etc.?

I would like to "stock-up" on some balsa,plywood,lite-ply, spruce, basswood etc. We don't have a hobby shop anywhere in our area that stocks these items. Would appreciate anyone's thoughts on what I should order. There are many sizes and types to pick from. All I anticipate building are electrics up to about 48"wingspans and gliders to maybe the 100" class. Thanks in advance.

Default RE: Ordering balsa etc.?

Only thing I can think of at this point is to review just how much you save on now in ordering from a place several time zones away from home.

Order in hundreds of dollars too, for you can sell off excess to locals, or save for the next project two years from now. My friend buys in thousands of dollars each year and he gets no shipping or cost breaks.
