Default Wing Area Calculations

Well, have been asked by a few foreign customers as to "exact" wing area on large free flight and some rubber powered models. With polyhedral wings, they want exact, vertical, wing area, the area consumed by the fuselage between the wing halves, and other considerations.

I do not know to what exacting rules they are going by, but to them a tenth of a square inch means something in consessions. Thus I am interested as to what should be considered as noted in question.

One of my friends mentioned last night, how do you consider wing area on something like an delta wing F-92.
