Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: cockpit combing aluminumI just finished my cowling. For around the engine (model A) I used .032 3003 aluminum because I wanted to put some louvers in it and 2024 is too hard (cracks when you try to form the louvers). Then behind that I used .025 2024 aluminum. Seems thin but works just fine because the gentle bend around the instrument panel really stiffens it up.
