Hey guys,
Looking to start the build of the turtledeck, and after looking around the forum I am still trying to find which is lighter, wood or metal. Further to that where in the turtle deck can you reduce the former and skin thickness to maintain rigidity and structure, but throw a bit of weight out. Would like carbon, but will just stick with metal or wood on this one. Still looking to have a door and baggage area, thin as possible. Would aluminium formers with a bonded ply skin work? Does anyone have any idea of the finished weight?
Cheers.
