Whats up with Top Flite kits on Tower? They just pushed back from Late April to Late May now for most of the kits? Does anyone know whats going on?

Balsa shortage. The Chinese are buying it all.

Sounds good - the whole industry is fighting for quality balsa..

It's a conspiracy to get you to buy an ARF instead of a kit.

I almost want to think that's getting to be true, since the chineese are making all the arfs now?! It's sad when I open a tower catalog for the 80's and 90's and most of it is kits, now it's 3 pages worth of kits and mostly arf's. And now with wind farms popping up all over, the supply of balsa is dwindling away. I'm starting to wonder if there are enough balsa trees to harvest to support the habit of being "Green" and saving the planet? Wait, let's cut down a bunch of trees to be green, that doesn't make any sense to me.
