Expressions of interest:
I have several alu skinned alu honeycomb cored panels of varying thickness and sheet sizes.
The material is stored in Melbourne Australia and if i was to sell shipping would be the responsibility of the buyer.
This particular material was to be used as flooring in different aircraft, is still in it's protective plastic film and well looked after.

If Jarrod is not interested, we may be.I'd also like to know those details. I'm guessing it could be for a similar purpose http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

I will get all the details and post them up.
I have a fair bit of the stuff and am hoping to use some myself with the sale of the balance to fund the project.
The cost i'm asking is greatly reduced (advanced composites valued the entire stock at over $65k 18 months ago)
From memory: the skins are pretty thin ~0.8mm ?? i will check
several sheets 3600 x 1220 x 10mm
a few 2400 x 1200 x 12.7mm
an odd piece 1200 x 1200 x 30mm
but i will get all the details and post them up.
Cheers

I am interested. What is the 1off or 2off stand for though

1 x off = means i have one sheet
2 x off = i have 2 sheets
the off thing (as opposed to 'of') comes from "off the rack", "off the shelf" like in eng. drawings with the details an item stating 2 off required....

Yeh we are in oz, university of melb. Still doing some final calcs to check skin and core thickness, then on to manufacture.

What is the material left from?

The material was originally intended for aircraft flooring. A company that repaired commercial aircraft went belly up, a recycling company bougth all their metal stock (they paid scrap aluminium prices for the stuff ~$2.00 a kg at the time!! Thieves) and i bought it from them.
Some is ear marked for my own projects, the rest is for sale to fund said projects http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif.
