It's gonna be made of a little bit of metal, wood for the main wing structure, and 3d printed wing ribs

Twaylor · Answer

i know for a fact main wing is 110 - 180 ft² (22 - 36 ft wingspan), horizontal stabilizer is 22 – 45 ft² (7.3 to 15 ft wingspan), about 5 feet wide for the main and 3 feet wide for the back, the space between should be 10 to 15 feet (2 - 3x chord) For safety I'm going to stick with the higher numbers

Choosing the higher end of your dimensions gives you a main wing area of 180 ft² (36 ft span by 5 ft chord), a horizontal stabilizer of 45 ft² (15 ft span by 3 ft chord), and a gap of 15 feet between them.
