Andy's right about it flying light...the wings are 1,383 sq. in. but what's 23 sq. in. among friends
The cool thing to me is it flys like a foamy w/o the disadvantages of a flat wing PLUS it can handle wind really well. Most are coming in at 9lbs to 9lbs 1 oz. There's one being done now that will be in the 8.25lb range and will fly with a OS 120AX (takes some mods to balance it though).
