One of the best ways to finish your fuse is to start with Krylon sandable primer. Sand this down with 360 or 400 wet sandpaper till it's almost off and fuse has a nice sheen. Spray with Kryon or Duplicolor (automive touch-up paint). Let dry over night. Sand down with 400 wet to just cut the

Mr. Monkey King, I built a 60" HLG using Mark Drela's AG03. It's 6.24% thick and 2.0% camber. Launch and run are tremendous. Should be a good choice for you. Mr. Drela likes to keep his airflow attached and sacrifices some high lift coefficient float for low drag at speed. I think that a look

PS, one of the reasons for this landing was to minimize time and people in the landing zone. You know right away what the score is and you don't need to measure. We wouldn't have been able to turn the LZ around for upwind landings because the planes would then have to make their final over the spec
