Thanks Jim. Believe it or not, this here moron is going to try
adapting it for outdoor flying...I need a decent outdoor HLG for a
contest less than a month from now, and I've got a hunk of 3/16"
balsa that fits your wing planform perfectly.
I'm sure mine will weigh more like 25-28 grams...
Good flying,
Joshua Finn
