Don So am I. It is so light the hook weight will be more than enough to right it but I don't know about the aerodynamics, ie does it act like a propeller because it is "solid" I kinda doubt that because a big old hairwing is pretty solid too and those neat wally wings would not be all that porous either and they both work. This stuff is so light that even in a small wing it will be somewhat flexible like a natural fiber, not stiff like the paper or plastics I've seen. Down wings and spinners should work really well
