The wing loading will be in the 24 oz. range, and the area is 4700 sq. in.

The core is H45 PVC, and you can purchase it in many thicknesses. You can also purchase Roacell PVC core in very thin sheets.

Bob,

I saw a previous post indicating the possibility of powering the plane with an outrunner motor. Check out Innov8tive Designs & give them a call. They are coming out with a speed control capable of handling 16 cells & an outrunner motor equivalent to a 200cc gas engine. It is not on their website but they will tell you more about it if you call. http://www.innov8tivedesigns.com/index.php

Also check out the Hacker Motors A200-8. It is equvalent to a 150cc gas engine. http://www.aero-model.com/Hacker-Brushless-A200-8.aspx

Hope this helps.
