For some reason i have been drawn to the W10 Tailwind, but i have a question.

The original wing construction is built up wing with ply wood skins. I'm thinking of substituting the built up ribs with foam and having a fiberglass skin, using the same spars. Using the construction technique from a kr2.

Is there any problem with this? In my head it would result in a stronger wing and possibly lighter, and beable to produce a wing faster.
