This one is a bit smaller.
call it 16 foot span and 15 feet long.
and maybe a full foot shorter in height.
I think it was 6o to 66 sq ft for the wing area is
about the same for both.

I can't see any scale or measurements on your sketches. Maybe I need better
glasses.

Or spec the Rotax 914 (turbo!) and a higher
aspect ratio wing (longer span) for those
mini-U2 missions....

Or an Apex T62-32?

You could lose the cheek cowls, reduce frontal area by a bunch and maybe
come in at your desired weight. Does a tailwheel airframe back up real well?
