Gene,
Oscar is looking for 4' x 12' sheets, My Piet used less 4' x 4'
He is clearly building an all aluminum Pietenpol, or.....
B-T-W
3003 is very soft.
6061 is twice as stiff
and 2024 is three time stiffer than 6061.
Regards
Hans
All wood Pietenpol NX15KV, with some steel and aluminum parts all wrapped
in Polyfiber

why "aircraft grade" aluminum? Regular old 3003 aluminum is what has been
used since the Wrights and works perfectly fine for anything on a Piet.
Can buy locally, is cheap, and is easy to work with.

What's that Oscar, building a spam can ?
I have bought and rolled upto .040 with out a problem.
But did not buy from Aircraft spruce, I got my stuff local.
Try Trident metals (Houston and Austin locations) they carry aircraft grad
e aluminum, including mill certification.
Pick it up yourself, with sales tax still much less than Aircraft spruce,
Wicks or Airparts
Good luck

Subject: shipping aluminum sheet
ircraft Spruce and others indicate that 4'x12' sheets
f aluminum up to about .030" can be shipped as one
iece by rolling and boxing. They caution that they
on't guarantee that the heavier gauge material will
nroll completely flat when shipped this way. Has
nyone ordered sheet stock that was shipped rolled
his way, and what was your experience with it?
