  3003 comes in 4x12 too.  It can be had in differing hardnesses, I 
think 1/2 hard is the norm for cowlings, etc (can't say the T_ number).  
I am going to a local place within the week to buy a piece for my 
cowlings.

   

  Talking about something that unwinds with a fury, though, if anyone is 
using hard wire (or music wire) for tail bracing or wing drag wires, I 
made the mistake of holding a roll and cutting off the brass-wire ties.  
It had the ends bent back 180 degrees, so as it started uncoiling, it 
dug those sharp ends into my hands.  I only then realized that I had no 
option but to put my foot on it, cover my face, and jump off . . . it 
slapped me about ten times before I got out of reach.  Damn near kilt 
me!

    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 grade aluminum, including mill certification.

      Pick it up yourself, with sales tax still much less than Aircraft 
spruce, Wicks or Airparts

       

      Good luck

<taildrags@hotmail.com<mailto:taildrags@hotmail.com>>  Aircraft Spruce 
and others indicate that 4'x12' sheetsof aluminum up to about .030" can 
be shipped as onepiece by rolling and boxing.  They caution that 
theydon't guarantee that the heavier gauge material willunroll 
completely flat when shipped this way.  Hasanyone ordered sheet stock 
that was shipped rolledthis way, and what was your experience with it?
