I also built metal wings for my Tailwind and made them wet wings. I concur with Bill that the plans had a note ¡°fuel goes here¡±. I recall a discussion of the weight of the wings as I was building and the weight of the metal wings was very close to the wooden wings.

No I did not. The plans just had a note saying place fuel here, with no guidance on exactly how to do it.

Also, I had dealt with proseal before and had no desire to do it again.

I built metal wings for my Tailwind. IIRC they weighed 63 pounds per panel, including flaps and ailerons.

Are Calbie Wood metal wings generally heavier than standard W10 wings?? I know, I know, somebody is going to say at what span?? 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.
