I've been reading a lot about composites making more compound curves than aluminum and a more aerodynamic surface. Is the English wheel a lost art? If you used one you could do anything the glass on foam could do. I'd like a aluminum plane of the 4 seat variety but it seems my best option for that is to go to a salvage yard to pick up a destroyd fusealge and make a new one off the dimension of the crumpled bits.
