Default How many squares would you say...

...it would take for a twin TD .010 Skyrocket?

I finished the rough draft of the plans for my contest entry (done with a stubby pencil) and I like the way it looks. But the wing looked a little smallish. I'm not worried about it being too fast but I would like to be able to do some mild aerobatics. So a lower wing loading might be a good thing.

I will use a 50 Mah battery, two 9g. servos (aileron and elevator), and a GWS rcvr. The single Perfect tank looks to hold about an ounce (with a T fitting between the engines so they will die at roughly the same time). The tank can be easily enlarged and I am used to short runs with my .010s so I will start off with the small one.

The wing is about 130 sq. in. right now. I could extend it for 150 - or make it smaller. What would you guys recommend?

BTW, I tried to send this message via the '1/2a all the way' site but I'm not sure I did it right.
