Talking about balsa right? Are you sure that Fokker isn’t foam? I agree that balsa is becoming Unobtainium though. I was lucky yesterday and found some Sig contest balsa at my local hobby shop. I wanted 1/16 but had to settle for 3/32. Will need to do a bit of sanding. Since Sig has been a topic, two years ago when I decided I wanted to build myself a new Divergent, I called Sig directly to order 1/32, 1/16 and 1/8 contest balsa. The lady I got on the phone was terrific and said she would need to check and see what they had left as they hadn’t gotten a balsa shipment in a while. She called back the following day and much to my surprise had enough to to build two airplanes. I told her I would take it all, to the tune of $480. I commented on how prices have gone up since I was employed at San Antonio Hobbies in California. Her reply was “ I just knew your name sounded familiar”. She remembered my name from 30 years ago. I received my balsa and built one airplane and stashed the rest away. Eventually used it to build the second airplane for a local who wanted one.
