The frame was cut out of aluminum using my cnc milling machine. After I finished designing it in AutoCAD I converted the drawing to a NCG program and fed it to the milling machine. You could also cut the aluminum with a hack saw. The aluminum I used was perched from www.onlinemetals.com. (.090" ALUM SHEET 6061-T6). You could use thinner aluminums as long as they stay stiff. To fasten the frame together I used rivets because there are cheap and they don't come apart over time do to vibrations. For the caster I riveted a tail dragger assembly in the back.
