Subject: Re: [TailwindForum] Calbie Wood Metal Wings? I think someone on the Forum said the W10 wood wings were 55# each. ? 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.

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. And Bill ¨C did you have fuel tanks in those wings? ? ? I built metal wings for my Tailwind. IIRC they weighed 63 pounds per panel, including flaps and ailerons.

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. ? Tony
