Default U - Channel Aluminum

I am looking for a supplier of 3/4 by 1/2 U channel aluminum for a QHOR plane fuselage.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Bob G

Large hardware store such as Ace. Might have only shorter pieces (?).

Somebody suggested a cabinet shop if you are desperate. Seems they use it sometimes for trim.

Thanks guys, I am on my way.
I tried my LHS (local hardware store) but they had nothing even close.

Default Found Aluminum channel

Thanks again,
No luck at Home Depot but local CTC has just started to carry it. Got some. I'll have the HOR built in a couple of days.
