| What' their web address, I tried to Google Pearl's art supply and Pearl's hobbies and couldn't find them? |

| I get my bass and balsa mostly at Pearls, an art suppy hobby and craft store. You can pick your own wooden pieces. Pearls sells a lot on material for doll house construction. |

| John, I asked them at Tower, and they said it wasn't any stiffer. (I just don't believe them) Do you? Where do you buy your balsa? I live at the edge of the world, and the closest source of balsa is 200 miles away. So I have to buy everything online. |

| You have just joined the old,fat,stubby and shakey finger guys here. Suggest you give basswood a try...it's sturdier. Many on this site use...Luck!!!! |

| When I ordered it, I specified that I wanted the stiffest balsa that they had, she told me that this was very stiff. But when I got it, it was way too limber. I called Tower and they told me that it was the stiffest that they had in balsa, that the next stiffest was spruce. ( I didn't believe them but relented anyway and told them that I would try it and see, well, I tried it and I was right, it's way too limber for these old fingers. I've got 9 1/2 sheets left, does anyone have any stiffer balsa that they'd like to trade? I'ts good quality balsa, it's ideal for flying models and peanut scale. I, also have a plank of balsa that I bought from Amazon that I thought was in sheets, but when it arrived, it was a plank 6 1/4 X 5/8 X 24", how can I get it made into sheets?
As you guys can see, I'm a dummy that needs a lot of help. |

| Boy Poppy, you're right, I've learned an enormous amount of tricks of the trade from this site. It's invaluable to me as a source of knowledge. Thank you James Good for it.
But, I keep having trouble with balsa, I just bought a bundle of 10 Towr 1305 Balsa that is 1/16X3 X30" from Tower Hobbies, and I'm very unhappy with it. |

| This is just another part of the learning curve. Keep at it! The help given on this site is invaluable. |

| Major league BRAIN FART! Solution...print the planes in reverse and build two more sides and two planes...or build one right side off of the left... make two planes and give one away as a present! |

| I guess two lefts don't make a right. The kit directions should have you lay down the keels the glue the left side formers to them like you have in the picture, except I wouldn't put the stringers on till later. Then you remove the left half from your building board and glue on the other halves of the formers to other side of the left half. Then after that you add the side keels and stringers.
Check out the fuselage construction on cdwheatly's Hellcat build. You see him build the left side then the close of of the keels and formers all in position. |

| Answer: Unless I'm building two of the same bird, then I have two left fuselages, and, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to build a right side. HELP!! |

Question: What is wrong with this picture? |

| Barny, I'm looking for any kind of weapons that an AD Skyraider would be carrying. What have you got? |
| Barnstormer, Comment for image # 5709 | 10 Jan 08 23:13 |
| Hey Sweetwillie, What type of viet nam era 1/32 scale weapons are you wanting? |
| sweetwillie, Comment for image # 5709 | 09 Jan 08 20:39 |
| I've got the measurements and some good photos. They can make a fiberglass replica of it for about $350.00. Maybe someday, I can have it done.
You're right, after you buy a bass boat and trailer, alone is about 50 or60,000 dollars. I'll bet I've got 10,000 worth of tackle, I have tackle boxes full of lures. And we can fish here year round. It doesn't get as cold as it does at Fork. I was supposed to fish Lake Fork with a quide,about 10 years ago, but I got a blonde in my eye, and I missed a day of fishing, and I don't regret it a bit. |

| An old Mossback! I hope you had it mounted. We fish Lake Fork in East Texas for bass like this. My second hobby, but a bit more expensive than building models. |

| She's a Florida-Texas Strain Largemouth, I caught her on a Med. Heavy 6 ft Pflueger spinning rod, I was fishing in Hydrilla which is very heavy stuff. Ultra-light, which I like to use, would not have gotten her out of them. It died before I could teach it to sing. I have a singing cactus, though. |

| Nice lunker there. Was a member of B.A.S.S. in late seventies and early 80's. If that was hooked on ultra-light you're one lucky sob. |

| Does its mouth extend back beyond the eye??? large or small mouth? Can it sing songs like "Barney Bass? |

Just wanted to brag a bit, I caught this beauty at Lake Amistad while wade fishing. She was 11 1/2 lbs and 24 1/2 \" long with a girth of 20". It was a fight that I've relived a hundred times and counting. |
