Come to think about it, all my R/C planes have built up fuselages. My Razzle is the lightest of the corral and it is just triangulated spars, no sheeting, covered in Ultrakote. You can see thru the whole plane from the tail to the trailing edge of the wing. I think the engine and radio gear weigh more than the plane. With a 5 mph wind it has to have a little throttle to land. A few times I wondered if it was going to come down at all.
I have seen a few threads on the built up profiles, (like you mentioned), and it really looked good. You must understand, I have been out of C/L for a while and a lot has been improved on. I was just building and flying from what kits the LHS had in at the time, and I think the Nobler kit I had in '68 only cost 18 dollars. But I was a kid and having fun and wasn't in to the serious building aspect. But now I look at it a little differently. I have the PATIENCE to take time to do it right and well. Aftre raising 3 kids you learn it or go crazy. I'm going to check out the Aero Prod. site and see what you referred to. Thanks for the help. I am ready to fly. Twister is ready and two R/C craft are on the charger. More snow yesterday, 3 inches. May have to make some skis.
