I got the bug to try to do some tube forming and do an upscale of my mach 10 upscale....Full build thread is here:
https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1769788
64" wingspan, 36" tube length of wound 3mm depron, 26 ounces dry weight..
Here's a few pics....More in the build thread on rcgroups. Idea is the wing will attach in the middle of the fuse/tail profile and the tube will be slotted and slipped over the front, and the fuse will act as a sort of a splitter, air will flow straight through the tube to reduce frontal drag. Hope you enjoy it!
I've included a shot of my 4" version for 24mm.
