Try the True Value stores. I get mine there by the case. No surprise, since I build for sale.

Status: offline 		OMG! You just don`t know how lucky you all are!!! I just might be the only spadder in Norway. Nobody carries canadian gutterpipe. Actually nobody carries Coroplast either. Yardsticks??? forget it. My coro sources? Every spring, there`s a traveling circus passing by, and their signs are made of coro. So i sneak out at night...once a year and harvest. Canadian gutterpipe would reqire traveling to canada, and that is not the spad way, is it? Fold coro, then you have a square pipe. It may not be canadian, and it might not be gutter, but a pipe it is. Spad with what you can get, if in Malaysia, use malaysian gutterpipe!

Status: online 		Go to an Agway store. They can order the 2.5 inch sq vinyl downspout from thier catalog. A 10 foot piece is about $14. No shipping charge if sent to store for pickup. The Agway people are usually very nice.

Status: online 		I made one plane using Canadian gutter pipe for the fuselage. After I built a SPAD3DT I decided that aluminum was the way to go. My plane at
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7019698/tm.htm uses 1/16" thick X 1" square aluminum tubibg for the fuselage and 1/16" thick X 3/4" aluminum angle, both available at stores like Lowe"s Home Improvement. The Canard in my avatar to the left of this page uses the square aluminum.

Yes dear, I did glue my hand to the airplane to keep from dropping it.
