This post is quite late in coming, but I wanted to show off the final product.  This is the first time I've ever covered a foam model, but I really like the result, even if it did double my build time.

Somehow I managed to make the right wingtip chord about an inch longer than the left, so I ended up with a wing that produces different amounts of lift on the right side vs. the left side.  To make things worse, the difference in lift is related to airspeed so the plane almost always flies like it isn't trimmed correctly.  Even with that wackiness it's a lot of fun to fly!  With the power setup I have in this model I get unlimited vertical.  Because this little plane goes so fast it gets small in a hurry.  I really do need to make a bigger model someday...
