In RCM a few years ago someone published plans for a two meter glider wing for
the Electrostreak electric pattern airplane.  I would like to do the reverse with
my Airtronics Eclipse.  As it sits now it weighs 50 oz with a 6X1500mAh or 7X1000
mAh pack. (Stock motor, 3:1 gearbox, 12X8 folding prop, Hitec On/Off/Brake/BEC).

I'm considering building a 44 to 48 inch span constant chord wing with ailerons.
I would use the same semi-symetrical airfoil and chord as the current center
wing section.

Any guesses on what kind of proformance I could expect. Obviously I could put
a Astroflight geared cobalt 05 in but thats a lot of bucks.
