<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>Thank you Don, this is very helpful. The techniques for balsa cutting are obvious but I often have split the bala when cutting out versus in.  The A, B and C grain descriptions and pictures are the best I've seen.  All are relevant to indoor RC pattern and F3P in addition to 2M.
