Try Performance Metals: http://www.performancemetalsaustralia.com.au/6061-T6-aluminium-product-information.php

 

I've used them and they are good to deal with.

Contact Old Man Emu on this forum and he will point you in the right direction. He is on this thread: http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/what-has-old-man-emu-scratched-up.28789/

 

Now that Ian has expanded the section of the forum that deals with building and maintaining airplanes, there's a place to publish little bits and pieces of a general nature relating to the hands-on side of having something to fly.So I'm going to try to produce some useful stuff based on what I see happening around the place where I work. I hope what I produce will be of use and of interest. I'm sure that you'll let me know if it is not.

I bought some 6061 .025" and .032" sheet for my Sonex from Airport Metals, Vic... their shipping rates for a couple of sheets rolled in a box were quite reasonable, from memory around $50

 

PS Boxes for rolled sheets are currenty supplied "free"

I'll have a look at the brand on mine later today and you can find out where it came from.

Aircraft grade 6061 sheet will be linemarked as QQ-A 250/11 (for unclad 6061). That's the quality control spec.

Performance metals no longer sell aluminium. Airport metals very good to deal with however have a $100 minimum purchase

The 6061 sheets (purchased in NSW) are Novelis and Alcoa, sure you can Google that.

The aluminium in China is variously labelled 'XXXX', 'VB', 'Hahn', 'West End' etc. Generally for aircraft use the 'Red Bull' type.
