We're homebuilding by hand an airplane that is so easily tweaked it's
laughable, and using crappy plans that leave a lot to the imagination,
so of course you can use Diehl skins. There is a slight performance

Hard to imagine your wings haven't yet sold. Not only are they more precisely

Hello All,
Still working on my project and seeing how/what I can do to make it happen -
before I die of old age.? But the long and the short of it is I now have an

Diehl skins ( vacuum bagged) but haven't been able to confirm how much I

I don't know about weight savings - probably insignificant in the long
run. I can say this about them though, after almost 25 years

I just got off the phone to Garry Morgan, regarding your email on wing skin
price.
Garry said he sells wing skins to KR people for $5000. (RRP $7,500)
I'm confused and think you are saying he uses the new wing section??
Garry DOES not use the new wing section on his planes.

The original statement was about the weight of the premolded wing skins only.
My question now is--are you guys all talking about your total each wing weight,

paint.

Hi all,
Today I fitted both top wing skins. I have wing tanks, and now keeping my
fingers crossed that the tanks are sealed. ( looking good) As per Dan Diehl
instructions.
I have removed the old H/S stabiliser and made a new one with 12 inches more
span and 1 inch more cord, and it weighs the
