Gøran Marstrøms T isn't what I would call middle tech. It's pre-preg S glass+nomex+foam baked in an autoclave. The only difference from what I assume you mean by a high-tech building process is the fibers used.

Put the top Tornado sailors on a well buildt plywood Tornado with the same equipment/beams as the rest, and I would be surprised if they did worse than usual. That would be a _very_ interesting test btw!

Often it's not really the technology and money available, but the persons behind it. Just look at Burt Rutan.
