Wow, I had no idea things change that much. The plane that is the center of all this controversy is the L-39 Albatross. A pusher design by someone overseas. It is a darling to fly especially for a intro ducted fan model. The wing is built up and fully symmetrically as is the rudder and elevator which sits atop the engine.
What got us started on this slippery slope is the fact that the fuse is basically lock joined together by four longerons running the lenght of the fuse from the inlets back. The formers are secured to the longerons and are planked. (Would never plank for a full scale job! This was a job in itself!)
Group think was that the plans set up for the fuse would work for a full scale plane. As for the wings, you are right and I wouldn't even know where to start.

All I can say is pass another cup, but decaffe!!
