I am no aeronautical engineer but I would tend to think the extra few
pounds of wing skin weight would not be a big problem as you get extra wing
area and a higher aspect ratio from the slightly greater span, even Rand
Robinson say the Diehl wing skin gives better climb, but, like I said, Im no
aeronautical engineer. No bucket loads of foam dust , you can use the
stock spar lengths, I save a lot on the cost of foam which is expensive for
me, time saving in finishing, and so on and son.
