If so, what minimum bending radius should I aim for to avoid cracks? -- Bob (Chief Pilot, White Knuckle Airways) Any T6 aluminum will crack if you try to bend it. I once had some .020 2024-T6 aluminum that I wanted to make into some rudder skins. The act of dimpling it cracked it. Damn.... and I'm building a plane made from a Metric Butload(r) of 6061-T6 Al that has been bent. Gig www.peoamerica.net/N601WR
