I've got a huge pile of 1/4 sq sticks and 1/16" sheeting in a box in my shop... When ever I buy balsa, I buy enough for a couple of kits.... it's just easier that way... I liked the idea of a short kit, that way I don't have to pay markup on wood I already have...

What kind of builder doesn't have a decent supply of basic wood?? Oh well, different strokes for different folks....
