metric balsa sheet
Any know where I can get metric balsa sheet in the US? Looking for 2mmx100mmx915mm(or longer). Doing a DR109 by Big Ed Pinder and don't have enough wing sheeting. US sizes not right.
Thanks in advance. Mike

metric Balsa ??????????

3/32" x 4" x 36" balsa sheet converted to metric is
2.3812mm x 101.6mm x 914.4mm
I think that would be close enough, that's less than a 1/64"
that you would have to sand down to 2mm, and a hair over 1/16"
to trim off the side to 100mm, but it is less than a 1/32" short.
Wouldn't the sheet have to be cut to fit any way? And to sand
down the sheet less than 1/64" shouldn't be all that much work.
Just my $0.02 worth.
Good luck
