Re: Buying Wood
Several places on-line, Specialized Balsa or f1d.biz You have to pay special for contest grade wood to get consistently lighter stuff. And even then, not all you get will be lighter, but more will.
And your can buy it locally, hobby shops, Micheals, Hobby Lobby, etc. Trick is, about 80% of the balsa they sell is TOO heavy. Take a scale with you , sort through and select the light stuff, buy it, put the rest back.

Re: Buying Wood
oh ok. I was just wondering if there are any online stores.
I make a tower and uses the same amount of wood as other people, maybe even less. But in the end, their tower is half the weight of mine...
