It is 2m wing (1986mm)... not 3m
Thanks for bring it to notice.. will correct the total span typo in the main post... the rest of the details i.e individual spans, wing area, wt etc  are correct

I have used a 32 gsm FG cloth, which i had bought from banggood some time back, laid at 45 degree bias.. and it has a CF tow built up spar

For airfoils I refer to aerodesign.de a lot..
