Working on UL plane design. Semi-cantilever wings. Span 28 ft. Height 3.5ft without landing gear. I cant seem to get the weights to work out even though i see planes line the backyard flyer and the belite that get the job done. Fuselage FRAME weight is giving me grief right now. Am I way off the weight???

wings 57lbs
skin 17
control stuff 15
Land gear(tri, include legs) 21
Fuel tank 5
Power 72
Cockpot 22

Are my weights way off anywhere? everywhere?
