Default How Fast Dat Blink Be...?

Much of this time of year I spend scheming about interesting projects. A bonus is when the project doesn't represent much work, but it serves to satisfy my curiosity.
Maybe I was caught napping, but I do not recall seeing any speed results posted for The Blink. After spending some time looking at Blink threads, there isn't a whole lot posted about this great looking little plane that was designed to go fast.
I've got the drawing, but the drawing doesn't have any dimensions. IIRC, it had 15 inches of span.
I'd like to build a "regulation" Blink and try to be faithful to the original Ulmer design as I can.
I built one many moons ago but never equipped it with much power before it crashed. Back then I used GWS park flyer equipment a lot...and I also crashed a lot. I found GWS equipment is great if you like to keep your herd of 1/2 A planes thinned out.
So, back on topic....I need to at least find out what the span was / is, before getting started.
