The Maestro Megan's wingspan was 128", or 140" with wing tip extensions
(11' = 132"). It's fuselage was a fiberglass taco shell open on the top,

Brent,
There's no-fiber, short fiber, and long-fiber versions of Bondo. The
no-fiber is the creamy version you remember.
Bondo and the competitive polyester body fillers are all heavier than you
should use on a model aircraft. A mixture of epoxy and micro-balloons is
much lighter and sands

It's very similar to the old Airtronics unit, but shorter. But shorter

Quoting the Aquila assembly manual...

Intolerance isn't very attractive.
By choice, I prefer to fly larger planes. But sometimes circumstances
make it inconvenient to drag a large plane along, so it's nice to have a
smaller plane as well. I have a selection of planes with spans from 148"
down to 70", and when I'm flying I alway
If a wing is built to some span dimension in the flat, then buy the time
dihedral is dialed in, the projected span is something less. It follows
then, that the projected area of a finished wing with dihedral is less than
