Hi Birdy,Important to remember the Golden is used to train people to fly their own Super Sky Car's which are built around this configuration, fully enclosed with a 7 foot wing over cab, 5 foot chord and designed to carry extra fuel along with contributing to some of the lift.Mass balance weights.Cheers,Mitch.www.thebutterflyllc.com
