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 E.

Blair" Subject: Re: RV8-List: Main Longerons 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.

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.
