Hi Justin:
It is a big Universe. Which galacy are you in? System, planet, nation,
state, and city might also help. Assuming you are in the USA, you might
want to try:
http://www.balsausa.com/html/products.html
http://www.hobby-lobby.com/
http://www.nationalbalsa.com/index.html
and if all else fails:
http://www.towerhobbies.com/
I have a huge hobby shop locally, and craft stores, that stock balsa. So
try some of those first. Their prices are higher but there is no shipping
and delivery is immediate.
Thermals, Ken in Carmichael

Good day all,
My name is Justin and I recently purchased a set of Bug plans and am
now looking to start procuring necessary materials. My LHS as some
carbon rod that I think I might use for the boom, but their balsa
selection is a bit lacking. Can anyone suggest a (few) good online
retailer(s)? I have built a few kits (FF, some foam-wing, balsa fuse
gliders) and want to tackle the challenge of scratch building. I have
not, however, ever covered anything with shrink-fit covering. I am
planning on using 2.4GHz gear (Spektrum AR6300 and ultralight Blue Bird
servos). I will probably be pinging the board frequently with
questions. Thanks!!!
-Justin
