Thanks for the pics, as I was just about to ask for pics of the take apart peices.   Also the photo of the two planes, if they are identical the paint schem sure makes them look different.   Gorgeous planes.

Now the thought, can less resin be used?

John I built a one piece SV at 47 oz prior to paint  at that weight it was nose heavy very stable with great controlled corners.
I used the lightest balsa also a new method for applying epoxy. The biggest savings is in the wood selection
You can also reduce the wing weight by building as an open bay. 2oz savings
