Fuselage Belly Skin aluminum thickness ?

[William777 0]

Just finishing up the last few details of my second hand avid flyer kit. My kit was missing the belly skin and the manual is very sparse on the details of this piece. Does anyone know the thickness of the piece of aluminum used? .020", .032", .050",or? Thanks for any help.

That is the same thickness as the turtle deck sheets. I don't have the exact info here but I believe it is around .018"

Thebriman thanks for the response. I ordered .020" from aircraft spruce.

Thanks

Is that an Avid thing? I have never seen aluminum under a Kitfox

Mine will have it - 020 or 025 - depends on what aluminum I have -

 all the way to the Grove gear mounts at strut fitting.
