I forgot to add that my F1D is also made of wood from A2Z, and the wood if of the highest quality.

My future F1D's will be made from Green-Man Balsa (i.e., Nick Aikman).

Almost all of the wood used on my EZB's have come from A2Z. There have been rare mix up's in the orders. Each time, they offered to replace and reship the items.

I understand that A2Z has a lot of uncut wood of the highest quality.
