OK, so now with some time I am sitting down with SolidWorks to design a new Biplane for the UltraVair.
Long wings for better span loading, so less HP.
Here are a few pics of the wing design. Just getting started, tube spars and ribs along with the trailing edge done. Weight is 13.43 lbs for the panel. Total estimated weight is 18.67 lbs for the the completed covered panel so I will feel good with all 4 panels weighing 80 lbs covered.

That leaves 174lbs for airframe, tail feathers and engine.....I think I can do that.
