Colin, I'm not too sure I understand that one. Do you mean that some foam is applied outside the wooden frame, then the skin is put on top? In that case, how do you maintain contact between the wood and the skin, for loads transfer? And what exactly is the cost saving?

This is the way all do the wings now, and many are starting to do the fuselage. Some thoughts for economy without loss of strength. The Vision has been built this way and is proven to be as strong given same weights.
