Fabric. The airplane flies better (something about the flex) and you gain about 35 to 40 pounds of useful load over the metal wings. Ditto on the swap if you have fabric and want metal. Don't ruin another set of wings, just swap for a set, anyone will probably go for that.

I am curious as to the groups opinion regarding fabric vs. metal wings. What are the advantages/disadvantages of each. I am interested in hearing all opinions, even if they are only "gut" feelings. I checked the archives to see if there have been past discussions on this topic, and could not find anything. Thank you in advance for your input, Fred Wellman
