Default Wing area on 24% CA Extra

I estimate 1/2lbs the maximum weight saving with holes only (16 holes of 0.5oz=8oz). I have found a CF landing gear at TNT (Edge CLG114) for 3.6 oz instead of the supplied in the kit 7.23oz. I am going to use one servo for the elevator , one pull pull servo for the rudder and use the lightest wheel possible. No idea presently except 'Robart' wheels. I started another tread for engine mount and some guys gave me good ideas. My problem is to put an MVVS1.6 gas without loosing aerobatic performance. The only way to get it, will be to save weight. Let me know if you have any others ideas!!

I'll we be very happy at 10.5lbs dry weight. I am not sure if I going to do all the holes like the picture. I don'T want to breake my wings after my first SNAP!!
