Subject: Re: [TailwindForum] Calbie Wood Metal Wings? I¡¯m not sure as to the weight difference, but performance wise, the wood wing is faster and stronger than the metal wing. This is the reason the Hughes Racer had a flush riveted fuselage and wood covered wings. For the speed and strength. John Haedtler

Well I¡¯m pretty sure the Calbie Wood plans are for wings of only one length.? I guess Wittman wings have been made in several slightly different spans.? Anyway, please shoot me a comparison, if you will.? Thanks.
