You're most welcome! Your posting about your lifting body fleet inspired me to post the article about Wallis Rigby. I love his aesthetic sense. His semi-monocoque paper and bristol board construction method (a load-bearing paper outer skin with a few internal bracing elements, which his "Jetex Javelin" model plane utilized) might also work for the X-24 "Bug"- and HL-20-type lifting bodies, increasing their strength and stiffness with little added weight.
