Hi Pat.
what is the wing area and stab. I ask because there is an event in the N.W. called B proto which is aimed at newbies. Uses a LA .25 and wing area of 125sq inches 20% stab area. This might get you a few more orders.

Here are the rules.

The wing area is 142 square inches. The horizontal tail is 27.65 square inches, or 19.47% of the wing. If the tip pieces for the horizontal stabilizer and elevators are replaced with 1/2" wide pieces the horizontal tail is 28.81 square inches, or 20.29% of the wing. The vertical tail is 8.94 square inches, or 6.9% of the wing. With the slight change in the horizontal tail the airplane would meet N.W. B Proto rules.

Thanks,  Pat

Ken,
Picture sent via email.
The wing has cross grain tips. If the tips are omitted and a 3/4" radius is used at the leading edge the wing has 134.9 square inches. That makes the stock horizontal tail 20.5% of the wing area.
