Paul,
For all the Europa needs here in the US, Aircraft Spruce carries what is
necessary.
Firewall:
For the Trigear or mono I use the .016 thickness stainless steel and a Whitney
punch to make the holes. At .016 it can be drilled but is hard on the bits.
For the firewall in Trigear which goes behind the gear frame, I do not use hard
stainless sheet, I use the firewall 2000 kit. This is a sandwich material of
real stainless foil, firberfax (insulation and fireproof material to replace
asbestos) and on the other side a thin aluminum foil. The gray sealant and
adhesive
works great.
Do not use aluminum foil insulation material sold in home improvement stores as
---From experience it bursts into flame on direct contact with fire. It burns
really
well after the flame is removed.
Plate Damage to a wing or fuselage hardpoint; 1/8 inch 6061 T-6 is fine. It's
a bit harder to drill than 2024. But it doesn't corrode.
Wing Brackets; if I have to custom make a set I use again the 1/8 inch 6061T-6.
Regards,
Bud
