    Thanks for the info, Kay but that's not
    "HOUSE OF BALSA". I called and the girl
    who answered said that's another company!
    
    Anyone who can help me, I'd be much obliged.
    
    Thanks again,
    
    Tom
    

    Tom,
    
    I really hate to bring this up but I don't believe House of Balsa
    handles the Candy-man, .40-size Mustang anymore.  I seem to remember
    that it was bought up by another kit-maker, possibly Great Planes,
    and is now provided with a fiberglass fuse.  As a matter of fact,
    I don't believe House of Balsa exists anymore...I seem to remember
    it went out of business.  To verify, you might try contacting Great
    Planes @(217) 367-2069.

    AL,
     I was looking at the TOWER TALKS this month and
    there is a P51 kit from HOUSE OF BALSA in there.
    I'm still wondering if they do still exhist.. I
    know I've seen ads in other mags but I'll be damned
    if I can find one now. Keep your eyes open. I'll 
    keep at it also... 
    
    Tom 
    

    Al,
     
     I took you advise and called TOWER and they
    had an address and phone # for HOUSE OF BALSA!
    I'll call them later......
    
    Thanks again,
    
    	Tom

    Well, I called house of balsa in California and
    they told me that the P51 Candyman they sold is now
    sold by PAUL'S FLYING STUFF in Escondido Ca. I also
    found out that the HOUSE OF BALSA P51 in the tower talks
    is not what Tower has in the description. The kit is really
    a small 20 size plane and not a 40. the description was supposed
    to have been changed awhile ago according to H.O.B. An interesting
    run-around I've been thru! Hope this has been informative...
    
    Tom

    Tom,
    
    Well, that at least validates what I thought I remembered hearing;
    that someone(?) had bought the Candyman P-51 from House of Balsa.
    Looks like you've zeroed in on the _real_ source of the kit...now
    do you intend to order one??

    Al,
    
     After I got off the phone with you, I called
    PAUL'S FLYING STUFF  and the girl told me that
    they purchased the CANDYMAN KIT from House of
    Balsa, sometime ago. They actually have 2 kits
    now. One is glass and the other is wood. They've
    discontinued the wood kit but plan on re-introducing
    it sometime in the future. She praised the glass kit
    very highly. It has a glass fuse and a built up balsa
    wing and is very durable and fit's together like a 
    glove. She's gonna send me the cataloge and I'm gonna
    probably buy one. I'll keep you posted.
    
    Thanks for the info Al,
    
    Tom 

    ...One other note, the glass kit sells for
    $135.00. They only work their business on a
    part time basis so when the wood kits ran out
    they didn't keep building them. They will be
    building them in the future.

    no-one ever put the address and number of HOUSE OF BALSA in
    yet .6 phoned them.
    
    So what is it
