It has a wing span of 48.5" and a lenght of 31.25". With an estimated weight of 27.5 oz. and 321 sq in of wing area it graces an 11 oz per sq ft wing loading which is perfect for a trainer. With a 950Kv motor and an 11 X 6 prop it's a very slow docile flyer especialy with the flaps depolyed. Add an 1100 to 1200 Kv motor and a 10 X 4 prop and it can give the intermediate more of a chalange. Landing gear can be larger balloon type for rougher flying fields.
