Well you can't tell the wing area just from the wing span. I am annoyed that they don't announce the
wing area, because imho it is far more important spec than a wing span when considering performance and
wing loading.

For example Krill Katana 28% has wing span of 86,5" but the wing area is over 1800 sq.in!

If the c-arf yak has like 1550 sq.inch of wing area it will be a killer plane when under 18 lbs.
