I too, am looking for some smaller shears ,,, I tried the ones out of the school supply but it didnt cut the fabric real good, ,,, What about the pinked tape from Balsa USA ,, is something wrorng with it ,, or is not the right size for your plane,,, I have heard of people using the Medical Badage tape that has the pinked edges ,,, but it seems a little thick to me ,,,,,,
