yeah, the carbon would not really help, since the problem with wing-flex lies in the way the wings are attatched to the plane, not the strength of the wing itself. i think a carbon wing tube would fix it.

im not sure if the saito .30 would suck to much fuel. my guess is that it would be fine. even if it only flew for 8 minutes a tank, that is just to sweet! you gotta do it!

all up weight dry for me is 26 ounces about. i would not exceed this. it is on the edge weight-wise like this.
