Which material to use to build 6m quad?

This might be considered argumentative. If I answer with a list of materials, and someone else does too, which is the correct answer? – Everett Aug 9 '12 at 18:51

@Everett quite true. Q&A format suits these kind of questions poorly. Maybe "Can wood be used for ... ? Why not?" – jkj Aug 9 '12 at 21:14

A question can have more than one answer, that's quite usual. What is not constructive is ask too general questions like "What are all possible materials that I can use to build 6m quad?" – RSFalcon7 May 22 '13 at 0:13
