Default RE: chip hydes double vision bipe

I pre-ordered one myself. I'm going with 8411s in the ailerons and 8611s for the rudder and elevators. The DA50 is my choice of motors. However, I can't see how a this plane with a wingspan of 75 inches is only going to weigh in the 15# area. I hope that this does not turn into a plane in the 20# class.

The Goldberg 30% Ultimate with a wingspan of 70.5 inches is going to weigh in around 20 - 25#s and use up to a 75cc engine. They do state that it will be all balsa and plywood, maybe that is where all the weight is coming from.

Aero-Works also has a 27% Ultimate with a 63 inches wingspan. That one is going to weigh in at around 14-15#s with a 50cc engine.
