Re: All metal Mosquito ??
Actually the average density of Balsa wood is 170 kg/m3 which is far less than Aluminium at 2700 kg/m3. Even when you take into account that Balsa is far weaker than Aluminium, The strength to weight ratio of Balsa is about 40% better. So an Aluminium Mosquito would have been heavier and slower.
