The Swiss Colibri MB2 is a wood design with a VW engine. I would like to make a all metal version of the aircraft. The empty weight of the wood Colibri is about 390 lbs, wing span 20 ft with 89 sqft wing area, lenght 15 ft. My Question is , is it possible to build an all metal Colibri and keep the empty weight close to the wood empty 390 lbs weight?
Why not make it of wood? Well I have 45 years experience working with aluminum and none with wood. My shop is set up for aluminum work. What do you think?
