Here is one wing, which is approximately 46 inches, not at the shop to measure, and the root chord is 24 inches, total wingspan is 98 inches, when back in the shop, I will make a proper measurement and if needed will repost here

Saw this and thought of you Roger. Was at Sussex County Airport in NJ this morning, Sussex was the home airport of Leo Loudenslager. I haven't been here in a number of years and saw that they installed a memorial to Leo. Photos below;

a bit more in the shop on the laser wing and aileron,

 

[Forgues-Research]

wings basically done, waiting for the new canopy, so started to cut 10mm x 10mm strips and such for the stab/ele, still the rudder to cut

 

[Forgues-Research]

Stab/ele all assembled but not finished, now for the fin/Rudder, lots of balsa which has to be cut to dimensions

 

[Forgues-Research]

rudder assembled more work to be done, you can see my faithful inexpensive table saw I use, and you can see what I did for precision, the first thing a large piece of plexiglass to have a smooth surface , then I'm using an old aluminum level as a fence , it works

 

[Forgues-Research]

more wood cut, more assembly, carving, sanding
