What constitutes a woodie airplane?

[soholingo]

Can a woodie have any composite structures?

ie carbon in the spar, fiberglass reinforcement in the fuse, foam wing?

Generally, woodies exclude foam. Take a look at Wood Crafters on

From http://www.skybench.com/woodcraft/index.html:
Construction rule:

1. All flying surfaces are built up from wood.
2. No restriction on spar construction or materials.
3. No Molded D-Tube leading edge construction.
4. Fuselage can be wood, glassed wood or molded Fiberglass.
5. Carbon reinforcement can be used on any part of the structure.

Exception for Wood Crafters Ladder and Longest Flight events or Fun Flying:
The old Hobie Hawk and Graupner Cumulus can be flown.
