I purchased a Bob Hunt Trulite II Foam Core wing. Does anybody know exactly what model this wing is for?

The panels are equal length 27 inches long. The root cord is 10 3/8 inches and the tip cord is 8-7/16. The thickess part of the root with sheeting is about 2-3/16 inches.

Prowler?

The wing were purchased in 1978. I did not know the Prowler was around then.

Without going to every plan published with a foam wing (and that is not a guarantee), it would be best to call Bob. So many wing templates were used for so many different planes, it would be difficult to know which it is.

Equal span wings were used a lot in the East area for many years. Adding one inch tip blocks to give a 56" span and using a set of flaps with three inch chord at the root and a one inch chord at the tip you would have a wing of about 640 square inches. You could substitute this wing into a wide variety of planes. This could go in a Saturn, Genesis 40, Buccanner 746, Mirada, Cobra 7 or any design with this approximate wing area.

Allen,
Maybe it is a Genesis 46 wing (??)
I would like to see Bob's F-105!

Not a Geniesis 46 wing, I have one I bought in 76, checked and it is an inch longer. Someday I may build an airplane with it.

I know that Bob was a big fan of foam flaps during that era...are flaps cut too? A really nifty feature of that method is that the wing trailing edge / flap leading edge were not limited to balsa stock sizes.
Get all of the vital measurements and e-mail Bob, I'm sure that he would be glad to help!

See Ya
