I'm sick of paying ridiculous prices and especially ridiculous shipping prices for balsa. Since Horizon Hobby bought out Tower Hobbies we no longer have the really good Tower Hobbies balsa at really good prices. Shame on Horizon Hobby! The Midwest balsa they now sell might as well be OAK!
I already have a pretty good supply of balsa but can always use more. Horizon Hobby as the R/C Fuehrer is in the process of taking over and controlling everything about the entire R/C hobby. I refuse to spend a penny with them. I'm looking for balsa suppliers that charge based on weight rather than an obscene arbitrary fixed rate of $12.99 +++ for less than 8 ounces of wood. I can't lament enough about how much I miss the Tower Hobbies balsa section and the ability to order what I needed and it was only $1.99 shipping! Thanks to the Fuehrer Horizon Hobby those days are long gone.....
