Default Scratch built ??

After a couple years of trainers, then a sturdy birdy that I put ailerons on (and built a new set of wings for twice.. lol..) I decided to scratch build an EP park slowflyer. Its just 3 channel (rudder, elevator, throttle) until I can assure it's gonna be light enuf to fly first. Well the dimensions are L-20" span- 27" cord- 4" with hitec hs55 servos, gutted old 6 channel Futaba reciever, C-10 ESC, Electrifly GRU with 370 motor and 10x4.5 prop. The wings are hot wire cut from high density white styro with about 15* dihedral. Whats a good weight to aim for? I am trying to keep it as light as possible. I will post some pics of this flying POS in a while lol..
