Speaking of which, does anyone know what "aircraft quality" aluminum
actually is? As far as I know, there is no such designation. The stuff
I've been using in my ultralight is 6061-T6 but I don't think it's
called "aircraft quality". Just another marketing ploy.

My airplane is nearly all 6061-T6

But I think they usually want that to mean 2024-T3 with the shiny alclad
surface...
