Default plane size ?

using typical SPAD construction methods and using 4mm. for the wing vs.2mm., how big a plane (Ugly-stik or similar) could be built for a 25cc whacker engine and yield at least "moderate sport style" or "2cd plane" performance ?

You might look at the Ultra SPAD Stick 31CC + engine. WS 81” length 61” 13 lbs. Maybe scale it down a bit.

If you get one of the more powerful engines, like a DA50, blow it up to 110%
