Just wondering where I can buy a small sheet of Al. What size and grade do you guys recommend? I have a sheet I am using as a mock up, but it is WAY too thick to use.

Almost all the aluminum I've ordered in the past 4 years has been from Speedy Metals:
http://stores.ebay.com/The-Speedy-Me...QQftidZ2QQtZkm 6061-T6. The surface finish isn't typically all that great (it's good enough), but you can't beat the price. There's also Online Metals which a lot of other members here like: http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant...p=2&top_cat=60 |

You may have an easier time finding 1/8" thick, which is 3.17mm thick
 .

i bought a sheet of 1/8" 7075 T6 from onlinemetals.com and was very happy with it. very good prices too. check this link.
http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant...p=2&top_cat=60 you can specify the size too. i think a sheet of 1/8" 7075 that was 7" x 18" was only $35. or you can just buy pre-cut sizes. Losi Ten-T SCT conversion Neu 1512 1y |
