Hey guys I am building a highly modified kitfox model 1 here and need some opinions, It looks like when I install my wing tips I will have a total length of 13 foot now with a 42 inch wing 42*156=6552sq" /144=45.5sq'*2=91sq' total now with a gross weight of 1050 we divide that by 91=11.53lbs per sq foot. what I am trying to figure out here is if this ceconite 103 fabric which was 1.7oz will work or not. The 103 looks like it has a wing load of 9lbs per sq foot. So now do I figure in the full length flaperons as a lifting surface or not and or anything else as a lifting surface? Or is this not how you figure this out? The only reason I am considering using the ceconite is because I have it.
