Welcome...

I also fly the catalina. Personally, I found the biggest enemy to be weight. I can only guess but imagine composite or aluminum wings to be way too heavy....

Also to "invent" a set of wings is not easy...so many variables and a lot of static testing.

What kind of remark is that?  There is no comparison between a J3 and a Catalina - But yes, they are "different"!  EDMO
