Next time, i'd go for a bit wider wing chord, that'll help reduce the w/l and give it a lower wing loading.

I made it 15 pounds and selected a g38 with 60% power.
if the Home-r flies anything like the sim...i will be pleased to death.

I may make a new wing ofter first flight...we'll see.
Thanks for your input!

Thanks ChrisSpad!
