34" span , 40" length .. air frame weight exactly 2 lbs , unfortunately pics will take a while to get posted( camera crashed !) looks like it,ll scream with a 40 (might put a jett ss40 on it ) but the cg is gonna be a ***** to figure out with out any plans. the wing is tapered & the fuse is profile from top as well as side ( fuse cross section is a + shape) any ideas ?? i,ll try to post pics when possible.... thanks rob m
