I agree with lighter is better.

The Yak I'm building is a 35% but I beleive it is slightly bigger then this one and it will come out at near 30lbs, lots of wing area, and I have installed a EVO 150 so I don't have to worry about tuned pipes and peaking out the engine performance,

Not being a Hucker, by choice and also I'm not good enough

so it should be OK
