I'm waiting on the LHS to get me a roll of white Monokote so I can finish covering. I weighed the components and here's the numbers:
Fuse with most covering on it: 3.5 lbs
Ailerons, tail surfaces, hatch: .75
Engine/Ignition: 2.27
All radio inc. batts: 1.30
Land. gear: .53
tank: .17
Total: 8.5 pounds.
Ailerons uncovered, plus it does not include linkages. Assuming it hits an even 9 pounds, with 960 squares of area, it works out to 21 ounces per square foot wing loading. Shouldn't be much of a problem to fly!

In the mean time......
Further proof of my mental state:
DLE 20cc, 60 inch span, 48 inch length, one-piece design, 9.5 pounds. With a 17x6 it climbs straight up til I can't see it anymore, the flat spins inverted til 50 feet off the runway and recovers in 1/2 turn.
So much fun I'm considering one with a 55cc engine and a 2-piece wing......

I'd say a 60" fuse, plus rudder and 84" span for that big an engine. I'm currently imagineering a bigger version for a 35cc engine. The 20cc version has about 15 flights so far and has been a pleasure. Check Youtube for some short clips entitled "20cc Notforsale."
