The E Flight Hawk flies nicely, but even at EDF weight it will stop flying quickly, I just think it will be too heavy for that thin wing-someone can prove me wrong...

The L-39 would be better, Flaps and retracts plus a bigger wing

Actually, Dave , I recently came across data that shows that thin wings can and do create just as much lift...the issue is that they do so over a smaller angle of attack range...I found that interesting cus i, too, assumed that thin wings didn't make lift.
