I am considering purchasing a Christavia project. Christavia is a traditional rag and tube fuselage with a strut braced wood and fabric wing. Workmanship is superb. But one thing I discovered is it has wood leading edges on the wings. Plans call for aluminum. I worry about this is a major plans deviation.
But some preliminary online investigating tells me it is completely ok and actually preferred because you don't have dissimilar expansion rates and wood is much harder to ding.
Was hoping some of you guys can provide your knowledge on the subject. Any input is appreciated.
