I was offered wing skins for $10, 000 dollars Australian, and said no, I
can build pretty much the whole airframe for about that, and it was
definitely $10,000, abosolutely no question about that, and $1000 for a
turtle deck and front deck, and $200 for a fuel tank, there was then a
change in price for the fuel tank to $290 dollars, the $ 1000 for turtle
deck, and 290 dollars for the fuel tank I thought was very very reasonable
considering costs in this country. If I had used local hoop pine to cover
the fuselage, I would have been below the $10,000 mark, but I bought
aircraft grade birch from the US.
If the local wing skins are now $5000, then there has been a price
change. And no, as far as I know, GM uses the raf section. Gary told me his
wings are longer in span and I think he also said slightly deeper in
section. I flew in a kr recently which has the longer span wings, simialr to
Gary's I was told, but the builder also used the later AS wing section.
Personally, I don't think there is anything wrong with the raf section, it
suited my needs quite well.
