Default RE: 52cc conversion engine and biplane

Well, heres the next question... Could I build a 68-72" wingspan profile biplane somewhere around 14lbs? Or am I dreaming?

My first weight estimate (when I first started designing) was 16lbs...That got me some doubtful looks at the field. A couple of them think it would come out around 25lbs. I think it can be done for much less, but then again thats probably inexperiance talking.

I'm thinking its not out of the realm of posibility...I'm afraid it would just wind up to fragile.
