Hi Terry
Nick Aikman cuts some very fine wood not far from you (Derby area?).
Congrats on your progress. I reckon I flew at Crawley when I was in the UK in '94. I live in Australia and have bought excellent wood from both US and UK. I've used Nick's wood in my last F1Ds and its good stuff!
All the best
Tim

Until now all of my Balsa has been by hand selection at local model shops but I have now reached the barrier of not being able to find anything any better so my dilema is can I buy indoor quality Balsa in the UK or do I order from USA sources ?. if USA is my option who is happy to ship to UK ?
