Reed vs. Rawe

[inspectortim]

Hey all, could anyone explain to me what the big differences are between the Reed wing (wood spar) and the Rawe wing (metal)? It's my understanding that Reed clips from the root and runs a strap over the spar at the outer strut attach point but I know nothing about the Rawe conversion works.

I know both will end up several feet shorter than a standard Cub wing but I had wondered if one was simply a copy of the other and if there were advantages to one over the other.

Thoughts?
