How much for just the fuselage minus fin and the canopy
transparencies?

Thanks, Bob K.

Probably about $80K :-)

- Or Perkoz, with the 20 meter wing extensions it becomes 1/40 cross
country trainer.

A 40:1 best L/D with that big clunky fixed gear hanging down? That
calls for a larger grain of salt than I have handy.

I don't think 40/1 is remotely unreasonable for the Perkoz, even with
that "big clunky fixed gear hanging down." It has 20m in wing span and
a decent aspect ratio. Compared to the Duo Discus and the DG500/1000
series, it's about 4-5 pts less in best L/D or about a 10% hit in
performance. Seems very reasonable to this professional aerodynamicist.

Ten bucks says that if the Idafliegs do a polar it tops out at or
below 39.

Thanks, Bob K.

I'd be curious about the result. Our club Janus C has a 20 meter wing
and 'clunky fixed gear'. The manual claims 43:1. I know from
experience it's better than my Speed Astir.

Perhaps, but if Dick Johnson were still around he could stick some
turbulator tape on it and suddenly get 45 ...
