I found .025" alum. MUCH easier to work with than .032"for cockpit and cowling areas. In my case I used 2024-T3.Just like the 1.7 oz fabric vs. the 2.whatever....it's MUCH easierto work with....saves some weight....and is more thanadequate for the purpose.________________________________________________________________________________

Phew !!! Thanks Mike....I used .025 2024T3 and was afraid I had gone too light and it wouldn't hold up. Good to hear that beauty of yours is the same!!!Don________________________________________________________________________________
