Thank you great info! I drew up a plane doddle the idea is to stay thin and lanky to get the most out of my rpm. Rolled ply fuse with a carbon tube boom from the trialing edge of the wing back. The wing will be thin ply with a light balsa core at the root about 6in of 3mm carbon tube.
Fuselage wood portion - 25"
Wing 5.25 tapper to 2.25" x 22" for 79.75 Sq/In
Landing gear will be slide in removable for good grass landings other wise will have the gear to save the belly.
Goal is 10oz or less - without the pipe to keep it light
I will go metal gear sevos for this one and coreless motors for elevator / ailerons
I may go with a double lamination of the rolled fuselage and nix the carbon tube first layer thicker than the second.
Or double layer from the firewall an inch or two past the trailing edge of the wing and carbon tube.
I will leave the engine swinging in the breeze to keep it from heating up more than it must.
I may add rudder in lieu of in flight aileron failer and for some acro / taxi - take offs.
