Default RE: Stocking up on balsa

Although your intentions are good I would not "Stock Up" beyond what I need for the next model.

After you have made a plane there are ALWAYS LEFTOVERS... They accumulate... Left over pieces that are too good to throw away but too small for this current job - so - "I'll just put them over here..."

The problem is that the pile of leftovers grows very fast and even if you really do need a small piece to complete a job you now have to "FIND" it in that big pile of stuff... [&o]

Personally, I maintain minimal stock in the house and buy as I need it for a project. When I have repairs to do, the pile of leftovers is always there.

Besides - it's always fun to go to the LHS.
