There is no bad balsa.  Only bad owners (or prior owners)

I think it is safe to say that pretty much all water saturation of balsa is 
caused by poor bedding of  fittings

Great info and research; so, how did balsa go from "wonder" material to;  "bad 
stuff don't touch..."?

Hey JohnKelly,
Hopefully, Rob Mazza will share some info on this.

I imagine C&C did considerable testing to determine the strength of their 
construction to evaluate laminate schedules and optimum core thickness.  Do you 
remember seeing any letters in your binders explaining the testing done, data 
collected, etc?
