I'm looking for some plain old PCB (for body and other parts of a quad-copter) and all I can find is expensive copper-clad board or pre-perferated board. I live in Burlington Ontario Canada. Even old PCBs might work if its easy to remove the copper. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
The copper can be easily removed with Ferric chloride in a plastic bath.

Old PCBs will likely have holes (through-hole) or inner copper layers that can't be etched and add unnecessary weight (surface mount).
I did a quick search and found this from Interstate Plastics.

Perfect! Thanks fusor/sofaspud. Much cheaper, and the right tensile strength too. I'll pass this on to my rcgroups copter buddies too. Cheers.
