Some of the wood I got from Clay was 42", I don't think he has any 48" left. The wood from National seemed decent to me, but none of the wood from them or The Balsa Store was perfectly straight. Lots of trimming will be required!

I think, considering how scarce contest wood is becoming, we are going to have to become less picky about what we get as long as the wood is of a decent weight and not ridiculously warped. Apparently the larger industries that are swallowing up most of the balsa don't care what weight they get. They just want balsa. []
