I'm still waiting for a balsa wood delivery.

Don't you just love a public-funded company that competes with the private sector?

Canada Post Tracking for my package of balsa:

Apparently they offer time travel as one of their services.

Just curious... where you order your wood from?

Canada Post Status.

Online response was: it is being processed, the status will be updated when at an other stage of the delivery.  Useless to talk to Canada Post. >:(

I purchased a electric motor on RCCanada, was shipped April 7 from Oshawa still not here, showing in transit April 18. So things have come to a snell's pace at Canada Post.
Last week I placed an order at Hobby Hobby, was here in 4 days, which I didn't expect it to arrive that fast. So I don't know if it is the larger packages taking the time to process or what.
I shipped 4 packages of wood on April 14th and will check the status them.

Everyone should buy from the LHS now and say no to Hobby King.

I would have to agree with Ken.

I have been a long-time supporter of local dealers.

Balsa wood arrived yesterday (thanks, Ken), and construction started this afternoon.

It's my own design, and I'm making it up as I go along.

I'm starting with the center wing section.

I suggest seeing if you can find "Chris Golds" Lancaster plans, it was a mix of foam and ply.  Maybe some of the construction can help as a guide?

Center wing and inner nacelles construction under way.
