Default Wingload for 3D flying

It will certainly be interesting to see how they hold up under everyday use. The only way to make it lighter is to reduce the structure somewhere and that could potentially reduce the strength too, if not done properly.

Plus I don't like the bottom of the canopy how it is an open cross brace design. Obviously done to reduce weight, but it just doesn't look right. How do you go mounting an instrument panel and pilot as required for IMAC?
