ya, the plane is a great design and would be great bigger or smaller. I am real worried about the balsa situation and that is really why I bought all those extra kits. I think the feds are out of control and don't have our best interests in mind. Look up what happened to the Gibson guitar factory recently. They apparently don't vote the way the current feds like and are paying the price with raids on their wood supplies used to make guitars. But I'm just a gun clingin bible thumpin freak from western pa. Sorry to vent but I'm just calling it the way I see it.
Very good point about the sudden demand for the balsa. It is playing a part in our hobby more so than inflation. I remember Sig, at one point, was unable to get any balsa at all.
Balsa is grown in South America, so its an international trade.
