Blake,

Looking forward to your build.

Your weight gain in the wings of 2.4 oz (70g) per panel is not bad. Some are able to do it with 1.5 oz of epoxy or 3/4 oz per skin. But you will likely offset these 2 additional oz with a light battery and no retracts.

Your skinned panels stand just shy of 17 oz total. You're aiming for a total unfinished wing weight of 24 oz or less. Your finished and equipped wing should be no more than 3 lbs with retracts or 2.5 lbs without. Carve out the right wing tip and hold off on permanently installing the left tip until you balance the model laterally. Then hollow out to balance. If you are able to build, finish and equip the fuse at a total of 5 lbs, you'll wind up with a 7.5 lb model which should result in a nice flying Compensator.

Are you planning on painting or covering the fuse?
