Hey guys
This looks like a lot of fun. I would like to try my hand at designing one. Can you give me an idea of approximate wing area?
I've motor, batts and servos. Plenty of foam a laser cutter!

Anybody? I'm looking at about 400 sq. in. Sound reasonable?

For a bipe 390-450 in^2, and 250-320 in^2 for a mono.

Here is a link to Donuts models. They have the specs for several different ones I have seen as being used in the competitions.

Looks to me like the bipes are 400 - 500 sq inches or so and the mono wing around 230 sq inches - if i did the math rite :)
Let us know what you come up with!
