The one pound claim just from wing modifications is probably a stretch, doncha think? That's a whole lot of wood! Claude McCollough was no slouch in designing wings. Okay, maybe there is some extra weight. I don't know. The wing of the Kavalier by CC is an excellent design. Strong but very light. It has excellent flying characteristics.

That Homelite Venture is impressive, Jim. I bet it sounds good too.

A lot of people chop off the outboard rib bay section to stop the floating tendencies.
