| .........I'm curious how one would conclude all composites are made equally - regarding the wall thicknesses? Have you compared a couple of different 50cc. or asked about the gauge of a particular crafts to draw this conclusion? .......

I have only seen a couple of the 50 cc Composite planes... both Comp-arfs. Both felt a little heavy compared to a similar sized wooden plane.
Neither had a lot of "Ding'age" on the skins which told me that the skins were as tuff... therefore as thick as the skins on my 40% SX.
When I removed the Hacker C50 from Chip Hydes Biplane a couple years ago, I did notice this airframe was indeed more of an "Egg Shell" then the 50CC planes... but these are special Purpose built Professional models... it is understood that they will be shipped and crated in special boxes and handled extremely carefully... the price they pay for a plane that is 2 meters by 2 meters and less then 11 pounds WITH BAtteries.
