Well, I've managed to stick to around 30 ounces for a .15 size plane, but I don't build many 1/2A's any more. However, I have a Norvell .061 and I'm trying to build it a nice home. That's why I was asking about your ideas.

I can go with no gear - don't mind hand-launching. I'd also like 5 servos. I have enough nano's to go around (Futaba 3006 (4) and some Graupner/JR something or others that are longer and narrow then the futaba's.)

So I'm thinking up to 300 squares, 1/8 x 1/4 balsa spars with 1/32" webs, and caps (no ribs except center and root)

Sort of something along the lines of the E-3D but smaller.
