Makes you wonder what the real story is, with the oddly worded website, strange price list, material borrowed directly from SIG, and now a closed shop. Not mention that it's in Miami. Hmmm.

When I get some free time, I will try again. Hopefully I will have better luck.

Looks like they are not looking for walk-in-off-the-street business. Was at Lone Star recently,and saw all kinds of 'from Ecuador" boxes of balsa. (You can walk in off the street, there, more or less.)

What is it they don't want you to see, Phil? The hollow balsa logs? Like I said, Miami.

Manufacturing plants ordinarily do not allow casual visitors for insurance reasons.

I sent an Email asking for a tour. So far, no response.

Still no response. I'm beginning to wonder about this place myself.

I have made a trip to modelers Mecca (Lone Star) and if you are EVER in the Dallas area you have to make a trip to Lancaster to do the same. I can not tell you the thrill it gives you to walk into a warehouse with 100,000 sheets of balsa (actually may be more but a BIG bunch). You can fondle them all and pick out some to take home. Paradise!!! ;D ;D ;D
