Well the wing is cut out using the template that passed my (does it look right test) I will have to figure out the squares in do time a 4 x 36 plank is 144 Sq.In. Least for now will show the shape. The plank bare from the store was 2.74oz. I had predicted 1.72oz after cut out and airfoiled.
To my surprise it was 1.82oz just from cutting out. Looks like 11oz 5ch 1/2A goal could happen the weight of the wing was a big hurdle to cross at this stage. It looks like the Lil Speedy's big brother the Skorch is getting closer to seeing some air time.

Ok took a look at the wing specs:
4 x 30in tapered swept tip wing came out at 88 SQ IN.
If at 11oz RTF 8 sq. in per oz should rip the air and float in on flaps.
