Hey Guys, I could be all wet here but I would think that there is a huge why not. A major part of the wings ridgedness and overall strength is from bonding the fiberglass cloth to the wing spars and forming a true composit structure. I do not see how you would acheive this with a aluminum skin. I do see the chance that it would work with plywood skin bonded to the ribs and spars.Joe Horton, Coopersburg, PA
Bob, Sure, why not?� Form your ribs, slide them onto the spars and rivet the skins onto the ribs.

I am considering the weight difference of possibly using aluminum for ribs and skins? Couldn't someone make one piece ribs that would slide onto the spars then rivet sheet skins onto them?
