Default Giant SPAD STICK Questions?

I'm thinking about 80 to 84" ws:

1.) What do ya think this thing will weigh? What's the original weigh? I'm guessing 1.75X the original.

2.) Will 4mm coro work for the spar?

3.) At this size, does it qualify as a "Giant scale"?

Cool! So I'm guessing around 9.5 lbs for the big one.

I built a Spadstick with a fully sym wing and it flew really slow and stable.It flew inverted as well as it did upright.It would not be hard to build the wing with 2 mil ,but with 4 mil it gonna be a little tough.
