Hello there, first time poster here!

I'm incredibly intrigued by micro lift and aircraft designed to exploit it like the Carbon Dragon (145lbs/66kgs) and the ULF-1 (121lbs/55kgs). I'm very motivated to build one.

My question is; how difficult it would be to get a wooden ULF-1 to weigh 45kgs from 55kgs by using carbon. 45kgs is a magic number up here in Canada that frees me from have to register to aircraft (or need a pilots license, for that matter, but that's beside the point).

Thanks in advance!
