depending on the thickness of the foams you have available you can go normal size at 1.7m with a 3mm build, or , if you have some 2mm you can make some very lightweight ones..
All go fine, but for me the lightweights are winning out...
they pick up on the lightest of lift, and have very good penetration despite their low weights..and their wings are not too bouncy in flight..
smaller wings at 1-1.2M are aerobatic bigger are less so but all will take a bit of chucking about
All of these are simple builds.. all pod and boom even the birdy
Pic 3 shows the more normal size and weight model, the other three are lightweights
