I sure wish I could accept those files and use a Cad Program. I just do things by ruler and Dial Caliper. And you are right I am using the Canopy of the Hornet. But I am also decresing the number of ribs to be used like in the Super Wasp along with other things he mentioned to make it lighter. Since I bit the big bullet on the fuse when I used the blue foam . the Horizontal stab will be built up with 1/4 balsa along with the elavator itself. But the elevator will be heck I forgot what you call it lol. counter blanced by wind lol. The Horizontal stab is 16" across and 4" deep and the Elavator is 21" across and 4" as well. I have not gotten to the rudder as of yet but I am sure I will enlarge it as well . The ailerons will be 6" inboard and 4" outboard. So I do believe it will have 1008In of wing area and weight less than 6 pounds all up weight. Hmmmmm is that a glider lol.
