Hi Willi,

I wouldn't have thought so. Most of the weight will at the bottom anyway.
It has to be strong enough to support the top and thus a bit sturdier and heavier than the top is my guess. Be interesting to know if the paste works, try it on a spare bit fabric, you might have to try different consistencies to keep the weight down to a minimum. What are you thinking of doing the top wing spars with? Bamboo could be an idea if you can hold of any (Garden center perhaps) its fairly strong and flexible enough to get a decent curve. Wish I was there with you Willi
It would be great to see it fly, hope you can get it filmed
