Re: All metal Mosquito ??
Graham - its hard to say as rivets are an often unaccounted for component of weight for metal fabrication.
Having said this I have long been out of the industry and my only experience with non-metal fabrication components was with 1960-70's composites and never wood construction.
It is intriguing to me to visualize re-designing an existing conventional airframe to employ spruce versus 2024 or 7075, especially in the case of shear load transfer for both panels and beams, where the adhesives replace rivets and fasteners.
