A correctly designed and built all wood wing is lighter and stiffer than a foamwing and the compositewings seen in kits sofar.
As said many times, ''wood flies better!''

based on the several composite wings I have seen to date....
Composite wings are heavier because they are simply not optimized. I doubt any of the composite ARF manufacturers actually employs an engineer to design the wing structure.
I could make a composite wing stronger and stiffer for the same weight as a foam wing....
