Those would be plans not 3-views :) I will be doing some plans for
this glider in the coming weeks if you can wait that long.

From memory:

Wing: 5lb 3/16" C grain. Section is 5% of chord, high point is 25%.
~11.25g with dihedral and bass leading edge

Tail surfaces: 5lb c grain, .050" at center, .015 at tips.
~Stab .65 g
~Rudder .05 g

Fuselage boom was weak at 2g
Nose pod was made from 3/16 5lb wood, .8g
Finger rest was 3/16 also, .4 g
Lead nose weight, 1.3 g

All up weight was around 16.5 grams.
