far I have checked Yarde Metals, ACS, Wicks and
Airparts Inc. You need around 26’ feet of this to
build the 601XL.

I wouldn't bother with the .093 angle. It's a pain to find, and it cost too much when you do find it. You can replace it with .125 angle, with ZAC's blessing. While not the cheapest, Mcmaster-Carr (www.mcmaster.com) has 8' lengths for $10.42 right now. Make sure you're asking for 6061-T6 when you call.
I've used this extensively in place of the .093 with only one drawback. It's a pain in the (at)$$ to bend. But, if you don't mind a little more elbow grease, it actually makes for a stiffer airframe with very little weight penalty.
Hope that helps...

Go with .125 angle or call Zenith the .093 is a special make. Check the
archives as this issue has been beaten to death over the years.

If you decide to go with 3/4"x3/4"x.125", you might want to check out www.onlinemetals.com out of Seattle. They are showing 6061-T6 at $6.33 per 8' length. I've never used them. Any reports on their products or service would be appreciated.

I guess I was lucky, I found a local place that had
.125 in 12ft lengths. I bought 4 pieces for my cap
strips on the wing spars. I paid $35 for all, but
now I'm looking for 12ft lengths of 1x1x.062 for my
fuse longerons. I did check with Wicks, they are
$1.72 a foot, but the shipping is costly.
