Thats my staple size, 24 ply and balsa, only on the Giant Scales do I need to go to 27" sheets, but on those I try to play out pieces to use up all the real estate. Only reason the CG Ultimate is being done is so I can repair mine. I have intact wings, and most of the parts for the fuse, so pretty easy to copy, its just the parts from the cabane forward that I have to re-engineer. I am also re-engineering the fuse side to make them short 2 piece with a doubler for strength. Been too busy with other spring projects, so haven't done much past the wings.

I question the quality of the wood in some of these "kits" you get on Ebay and Carolina(?) because I priced out wood to make a full kit and it was well over $500 for the giant scale kits, and that didn't include the shaped parts. I get my wood from National Balsa, so it is known good quality. It costs a little more, but you know what you are getting. There is another company in Iowa that I get wood from and the quality is on par with NB, and costs a little less, but they have limited stock.
