I'll have to look for this article. Thanks.
I don't know if Estes based their F-117 model on any other company's F-117 R/C model; I just noted that one I saw in an ad in a model aviation magazine (I think it was "Flying Models) looked small enough to be usable as a boost-glider. The company that made/makes it (E-flight?) also made/makes an F-86 model that was also shown in the ad along with their F-117 model (all of their models were made of EPP foam) and they were pretty small for R/C models. Here are links to numerous R/C F-117 models (see: https://www.google.com/#q=rc+f-117 ).
