    Metal skin was being discussed when we were building. The primary driver was durability as the aircraft was heavily marketed to mustering involving a lot of off-airport, unprepared strips. There isn't much of a weight penalty to go to metal skins, but when the MTOW limit was 544kg, we were trying to save weight wherever we could.

    Rego is 19-3094. Metal + fabric wing (metal leading & trailing edges). 544kg MTOW when we owned it, but could have been upgraded. Structurally, they'll handle twice that. Original engine was 912A (certified 80hp) but it may have been re-engined since. As I said, the current owner loves so I doubt he'd part with it.

    I'll see if I can get the details off the guy that told me about it.

    I know where there's one that's in perfect flying order as well, but I doubt the owner will ever part with it... we built it from a kit. No problem in strong winds... just land across the runway. I agree they could be a handful if it's gusty, but no more so than any other lightly loaded wing.

    Where are you located? I've been told there's a damaged one sitting in a hangar on brisbane.

    Which model GRT unit do you have? I'm considering them as an economical alternative to the garmins, dynon, etc.
