Hy gentlemen,
I just received a few days ago the building plans for this Bipe (S/n 3061, printed March 2001). Looking at them I see that leading and trailing edge are done with a .020-2024T3 aluminum nailed to the rib noses and spars C/l. I wonder why not a thin (.08 or less) plywood or balsa glued to? By the way the thermal expansion (being same materiale) would be the same with less stress for the strut.
Sincerely, from Italy....
