jamesg25.....The wing area is 5.12 square feet. The weight came in at 7 pounds wich surprised me. I have been up on three days with it. I forgot everything I ever knew about flying the J-3 Cub and have crashed it twice already. On the last crash if it had been balsa it would have been totaled ready for the garbage can. I'm still shifting weight to adjust the CG location. First flight was at 100 degrees F. and 95% humidity. The OS 46FX had no problem with it.
