So looking at my planed build, I was pondering ways to keep it under 12500 lbs. (The flying winnebago sea plane.) I was curious if it was considered bad practice to build a fuselage out of aluminum then for the wings build a aluminum frame then cover with fabric. If that is justfine how feed fabric effect the strength of the wing when compared to aluminum skin? Also are there any good books on this?
