So, on Jolly Roger, in 2003 at one of the Flea Fly-Ins, there was an unfinished (what looked like) HM293 built with welded metal structure.
It looks more like metal that aluminium (but I'm no expert so I could be wrong.)
Here is the link:

Does anyone know if this was ever completed?
Apart from the weight differences between wood and metal (I assume covered with fabric) is there likely to be any major differences?
Can anyone give me a mud-map guesstimate on how much heavier and the implications of such a fundamental change in construction method?
Thanks.
