Bill, et all:

I have been building for quite a while and I am currently building some 2 meter pattern planes. I have found a couple of sources for balsa. One is as already mentioned and that is : www.nationalbalsa.com and a second is: www.thebalsastore.com. The Balsa Store is in Memphis TN and Clay is very helpful. Both companies have what is commonly called contest grade balsa (that is the balsa weighs between 4 and 6 lbs per cubic foot).

Ed,

Many thanks for the informative post.

I wish I had heard of the Balsa Store before I ordered 3-inch wide sheets from National Balsa. The Balsa Store lists 4-inch wide sheets. Not sure why a search of the web didn't come up with that store for me.

Cheers,
Richard
