The rules for building a plane for the Wright Stuff competition have been posted on the free flight forum in RC Groups http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=29750241&postcount=29 http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showpost.php?p=29750241&postcount=29
 

 The rules state an 8 gram minimum airframe weight and 2 gram maximum rubber weight. Wing maximum dimensions are 5;0 X 8 cm and stab maximum dimensions are 30 X 6 cm. Maximum prop diameter is 240 mm, and prop material is not specified and may be purchased.
 

 Looks like a good flyer is possible, with a bigger prop likely to give longer times. There is an Ikara one this size, and a bucket prop might work too.
 

 Hope I'm not repeating this. I find keeping up with past posts a little hard in this new interface.
