With the scarcity of light weight balsa we need all the sources we can find. I just received an order that I bought on Ebay. The seller Crazy Gambler, does offer contest balsa and the prices are comperable with other suppliers. The wood is well cut - I found one imperfection in over
200 sheets. I am well pleased with the looks of the wood from sheet to sheet. When I weighed the total shipment the wood calculated out to 4.996 pounds per cubic foot. I found this source by doing a search for "contest balsa" on Ebay. The seller is good to work with and I would like to recommend her as a source when you need wood.

She is the widow (I believe I heard that Fred passed away) of Fred Dunn of Smog Hog fame.

Now this is just amazing. Just last year I mentioned this source on here and later in a phone conversation with you, you stated her balsa was too heavy. Just amazing.

Hey Ty,

It seems to me based on your back and forth rant with Bill Sawyer
that you actually have a case of ranting online here against Bill.

It is none of my business what goes on between you two off line,
but it seems silly to continue this petty arguing at the forum's expense.
But then again, continue if you wish, we all need examples to learn from.

Sincerely,

Paul Heimgaertner
