So I'm looking to purchase the required aluminum sheet metal but have some questions as the material list on the plans is not clear. At least to me.
2024-T3
Wing skins: (4) 0.025" X 48" X 100"
Plans say to order 104", and since at least on Aircraft Spruce I only see an 8 ft (96") and 12 ft (144") options, I assume that means I"ll need 12 ft sections and cannot get away with the 8 footers
Spar cap material: (4) 0.125" X 6" X 20" --> Seems straight forward enough
2024-T4 --> Regarding the T4 specification, does it matter whether 2024-T4 or T3 is used? I'm guessing no but wanted to check.
Spar cap material: (8) 0.125" X 1.25" X 12 ft --> straight forward pending whether T4 vs T3
Spar reinforcements: (2) 1.25" X 1.25" X 1/8" X 48"
So I'm struggling to see what to order as there are 4 dimensions listed. I'm assuming this is supposed to be 1.25" X 1/8" X 48" but am looking for confirmation.
6061-T6 & Stainless Steel
I see 3 things listed
(1) 1" X 1" X 0.125" 24" --> I'm assuming this is 6061-T6 and is supposed to be 1" X 0.125" X 24"
(1) 3 ft X 3 ft X 20" --> This is one big solid block of metal per the dimensions. Looking for some help regarding material and actual needed dimensions.
(1) 1" X 1" X 1/2" X 18" --> Guessing this is 1" X 1/2" X 18" but am looking for confirmation. And also what material this is supposed to be.
Am also open to purchasing any of the required sheet metal if someone has something they are looking to get out of their shop/hanger.
