Is it the Great Planes 1.6 or Hangar 9 Cap?
Which engine are you using?
Numbers (Wing loading) are pretty descent for the weight that you are posting. It will fly safely.
This plane is a copy of the Hanger 9 73" cap 232. I made it from scrach. I have a gasser chanesaw engine on it that is about 40cc It will tern a 18x8 prop about 8400 rpms.

The Hanger 9 73" cap 232 said that it will be about 12 lbs. This one came out at 15 lbs.

I hope that it will fly good. I did not add no lbs to it at all to get the CG right at 5 7/8" were the cap call for it. There is no way I can put a lighter engine in this plane with out adding to the nose and come out under 15 lbs.

I hope it will do good. I will put a post on here and let you all know how it flys.
