Mornin Guy's,
I am looking for some 1/64" plywood to use for siding on a profile model. What U S measurement is equivelant to this measurement, and where can I get this plywood?
Thanks a lot y1 <= #^ :!

SIG carries it for wing skins.

Gil I would think Andy would have it at his store.

I use 1/64" ply for many things. It's amazing they can glue up three plys of birch veneer and still come out at only 1/64".
-
I quit using it not to long ago because of the cost of it but it is great for a profile fuselage skin.

O.k., my smart-a$$ response aside ......
1/64" is real close to .016"
1mm is real close to .040"
So, 1/64" is real close to .4mm

I love the stuff and use a lot of it
One project was a long profile fuselage and sticker shock for 48"x 6" in long piece had me use 3/32 heavily sanded instead....
I won't list all the places I find it...redundant (see above) but by LHS is super proud of even a 12" x 12" piece
I would love to support the guy-- but seriously--- $23 for a square foot?

If my math is right-- rounding--it is about $4.60 per Sq Foot and that is not bad a all compared to any of my LOCAL sources---with taxes and shipping it is about $5.40 per sq foot to me in Texas
my most useful order is 12"x 48" from Tom Morris for about $23+/- basically $3.40+/- a sq foot

The price of ply seemed to go through the roof 3-4 years ago. I was told it was because there was only one manufacturer of aircraft ply left. I have found I can get it pretty cheap at Michaels craft stores. Downside is it's in smaller sizes, 6"x12" and I think maybe 12"x 24". Anything thicker than 1/32 is Lite ply though so I still grin and bear it at my LHS for thicker sizes- and use it carefully. Not sure about the need on a profile fuselage though. Just use a little harder grade of balsa and you should be fine. Many of the older kits had wood you could make a baseball bat out of.

Or, If you use steam, it rolls quite easy and can be used for Gee Bee R-3 oversize gear legs. ;D

This cowling is made from 1/64" ply, with pieces of 3/8" balsa in front. Much easier than a fiberglass cowling, and lighter.

Floyd,
You do such excellent work. H^^
Plus you have a variety of interest.
Ya gotta love those Gee Bees.
