So I lost the main longerons (don't ask) that came with the wings. Now it's time
to bend/install them in the fuselage. Any problem with getting 3/4x3/4 AA6-125
aluminum from my local metal supply in Norfolk (cheap/easy), or do I need
to get new ones shipped from Van's (expensive/hard)? Thanks.

Robert,
There is definitely a difference in quality between what Van's supplies and
what is available at most local suppliers.=C2- Also, this is such a MAJO
R component for strength to the airframe, I wouldn't consider taking a chan
ce.=C2- Call Van's and they can tell you particulars.

If you can authenticate the quality. grade and size of the local angle then
you are most fortunate you can purchase aircraft quality components locally.
I shudder to think how much of my build expense went to shipping and
handling.

I was able to find a local (Salt Lake City) source for 6061-T6 angle,
if you can verify that it is the right alloy and temper, you can measure
the dimensions easily yourself. I did find that they had a minimum
purchase, so I ended up with 32 feet of 3/4x3/4 for about the same price
as ordering 6 feet and having it shipped.
