Without looking at Aki's plan I'd say that for a 15 si stab built from
4# wood and the lightest available CP (mine at 5.22mg per si) you're
looking at a minimum weight of close to 200mg. This is for a 9" span
stab with average chord of 1.66" and 3 ribs. Don't take this as an
absolute number - it's just a rough guess.
My stab weighs 309mg.
