Default RE: WINGSPAN AND WING ROOT TO PRODUCE LIFT AT WHAT SPEED WITH A WEIGHT OF

Thanks for some feedback I plan on a weight of roughly 6 ¼ to 6 ½ lbs and for power a 61 mds rear port with a custom exhaust and after market carb what I want to try to do is build an elliptical wing that will not make my plane float at take off and landing. Like some straight wing models ie pulse xt. And others alike. I also want to try to get the wing as thin as possible for a given stall speed what I mean is instead of picking a wingspan pick a lift amount that will fly my plane at the given stall speed and then try to retain the as little root as possible by increasing wing area through span an chord if this makes sense.
