| Subject: | Sheet metal from Aviation department |
Today, I was struggling trying to make a somewhat complex shape from
aircraft sheet aluminum and had screwed up a sheet, when my local homebuilt
mentor suggested that I go to the Aviation sheet metal department at Lowes
and buy some aluminum flashing.
It is
0.0084 gauge and I bought a 10" by 10' roll (about $9) and a 14" by 10'
roll (about $13).
It will cut with heavy scissors or I used a knife to score it and bent it
til it would break clean on the score line (I can't cut a straight line.)
It shaped easily and firmed up with a little shaping and I am quite happy
with it as a lightweight cover on the rear belly of my Piet. At that price,
I used it first for the template and then practiced once and then made a
good one. I still have 6' of each left.
It is not structural and would dent if someone leaned on it. But since I
put it on the belly, if someone is leaning on it, I have bigger problems.
