I would go a step further and use 1/32" non contest on the surfaces with glass or CF in between cores and skins. That'll cut another 40% in weight over 1/16" skins. The BHE supplied 3/32" skins are good to build 25 size classics but will result in lead wings. Not to be touched with a 10 yard pole!
Unfortunately BHE kits came with pretty heavy wood but some good elbow grease might help to alleviate the problem somewhat if already framed up.
