Joshua,
I've never seen a plan of Larry's F1D. However, I know how much a wing of
his weighs. I did a really sweet patch on his wing tip when I was junior TM
in Serbia in 2008. At the 2010 USIC, Larry broke a motor on the same plane
which totaled the wing. Since the patch was still there, he gave the wing
to me. I went down and weighed the wing and it was 0.29 g, albeit with 1/3
of the front wing spar missing. This weight also is not surprising given
that he uses Y2K2, which gives about a 38-40 mg weight advantage over OS on
a F1D wing.
