Guys, for BODY PANELS, stick to SHEETMETAL. All the other materials aforementioned will cost more and/or take too much time to fabricate. Plus quality will be dicey.

Hi Hein,

Thanks for the input. Would appreciate it even more if you could provide ball park cost estimates (knowing the rough dimensions and design of the target PhUV), even at least for sheetmetal. That way we can have a baseline comparison for alternative materials.

Bamboo and coconut based components are both appealing as they are indigenous and natural. But of course, as you indicated, we need to consider quality, costs and time factors. While both quality and costs are easy to quantify, cost of time is relative especially in the provinces where time measurement is not so much by the clock but by events (sunrise, sunset, etc.) or landmarks (while traveling).
