Thanks EJ, that's the kind of info i'm after!
I do have the option to order balsa from the UK (that should be Imperial
) but i'll try the metric stuff first.
I'm looking to get a Super Kaos shortkit:

The 60, 90, or Jr.?
I'm impressed with Eureka's quality. Not sure if you've considered one of their full kits or not. I see that all three versions come with the fuselage sides. This being the case, the short kit may be shipped in a box long enough to accommodate 36" lengths of sheet and/or sticks of whatever balsa you need. Email Don at Eureka, I'm sure that he'll work with you.
Les is right-on - Wood moves. It's silly to argue .00X (X = whatever!) tolerances in respect to wood. The subtle change in a day's atmospheric humidity will cause the wood to expand/contract anyway.
I hope that you got some insight on your original question.
BTW don't worry about Zor. He's kind of a RCU clown... a annoying clown to be precise
Don't worry, unfortunately, I'm VERY familiar with this character (as well as the moderators).
Annoying? Hey, like the saying goes, "be good, or be good at it..."
