On a prior Skybolt project, I built a full set of Steel (4130) upper and lower spar plates from old plans. I know the new plans call for 2024. I am thinking that the steel spar plates are overkill and overwieight ( about 8lbs v 2 lbs). Anyone with different thinking or experience suggesting that I should stick with the steel plates?
Thanks in advance.
