What method did you use to do the measurement? The right way is with a square of some kind that you can butt up against the leading edge and know that you're getting a precise reading at the trailing edge. If you'll give me the overall length of the plane and the wing measurements, I'll compare it to my Cub which flies nicely.
Wingspan: 70.6 in (1795 mm)
Wing Area: 682 sq in (44.0 sq dm)
length 45 inches
