I went to their site, and checked them out, and although they said they still have not gotten all the balsa they want, they look like they have quite a bit.

True story. I went to Ecuador a few years ago, (visiting a former exchange student) and went and spent a week in the rain forest, hiking, and visiting the locals, and all, while spending the nights on a hotel boat.

Our guide was very knowledgeable, and I asked him to point out a balsa tree. When we came upon a nice big one near the trail that we could get up close to, he pointed it out to me.

I went up, and planted a big, big hug on it.

So, I guess you could say I'm a tree hugger, and best of all, a balsa hugger!

Oh, how I wish I had the trunk of that tree, or just a section of it. It was probably a foot and a half in diameter, and really tall. How many planes could you make out of an eight foot section, I wonder? Probably a lifetime supply.

maybe for you,

I break more than you do ;-(

broke my favorite last , gonna take half a tree to build another, well maybe not that much, but you get the idea

the problem isn't how much ends up in the plane, it's what ends up on the floor
