Question Skins

In trying to shed some weight, we are looking for alternatives for our skins, which we originally had hoped would be 1/4" plywood sandwiched between aluminum sheets.

I have seen a cardboard type structure, inwhich plastic was sandwiched between aluminum sheets. It is pretty light (approx 0.75lbs/ft^2), but I also think is illegal, since it comes as a finished material with the plastic in a "wave" form like the inside of cardboard.

Any thoughts/ideas?

Thanks,
