Default 1/4 Scale Kitten?

I have plans for a 1/4 Scale Kitten designed by Emil Agosta.
It has a 90" wing and 1080 sq. in. area.
The plans claim a weight of 7.5 Lbs. and recomends a .40 2c glow.

Anyone have one of these birdies?

I was hoping to put my first Ryobi on a nice leisurely high wing like a kitten, but according to those specs, I'd have to enlarge the plans by what, 30% or more?

That would be nearly a 10 ft. wing! [X(]

I don't have a problem re-engineering to that size, but my goodness, what a space hog that will be in my shed(mini-barn) and on the flight line.

So, the real question for you "Experienced" folks is this: would the Ryobi be a good fit with a 30% enlargement? How about 25%?

Thanks,
Tom
