And very good woodwork it is. Interestingly tho the wheel panta are carbon

Oh, yes the full George coder quote is "Woods still good, you can trust a tree"

Having helped to build one of those wings (for a Jodel 1050) I can attest to the
cost of manufacture. For one-off manufacture wood is fine - can even be
therapeutic to make something with your hands and simple tools. For economical
production, composite must win hands down.
