...Mark never built a 130" Aegea wing. The 130" Aegea was a wing
 design
that he did for some CRRC club members who wanted to have a wing with
 the AG
series airfoils for their Mantis sailplanes....
============================
The design threads behind the Aegea, which was a Mantis derivative, and the 
Bubble Dancer, which was a larger version of the Allegro, eventually came 
together in the design of the Supra. For an overview of some of that history, 
see:

For drawings of the very first Allegro, see:

For a picture of a NASA project led by Mark Drela that shows the inspiration 
for some of these models, see:
