Probably about a buck or two for a one foot section. Got em at Mike's Hobby in Carrollton, Tx. Just cut a shallow V into the fat edge with an exacto, then rounded it to shape of the strut with coarse sandpaper. I always left a three inch section unfaired on the leading upper tube, since that's where I grabbed it to spread the wings. The balsa won't take manhandling, but flight stresses are no problem. Mine still looked good after two years when I sold the plane. Plan on doing the same on the model 4 1200 I am starting now. Hobby stores call it "aeleron stock", I think. I'm going to Sebring in the lancair, hope to see some nice model 4 Kitfoxes there.
