Menards is .050-Mills Fleet Farm is .070 (Genova is the brand)

I found the Menards very flexable-I had to add a former to the Menard's stuff to keep it from twisting at the rear cutout on my Gremlin. The Fleet Farm stuff does not flex.

I used the .070 on my SPAD DPS-it is very stiff. No tortional twisting.

I use the thinnest stuff I can find (canadian from Menards)...and I swiss -cheese it. Significant weight reduction. I hate heavy airplanes.
