I checked the original plans for the wood version and it lists the Brushfire as 858 sq inches and 9 1/4 pounds. The length is 58 1/4" give or take due to folds in the paper and the span is 65".
The original article appeared in R/C Model builder in April 1980.
Lets see if the uploaded images are readable.

Awesome! Thank you, Stuart. Great info and background material.
Dan, is that weight also valid for your kit? If so, I will be putting my Webra 120 on it instead of the 90. That will motivate a 9lb plane in any direction, up, down, whatever.
For the 90 to be decent, I need to stay under 8lb max, 7.5lb even better.
