Many older planes whose plans were featured in RCM Magazine used the commercially available "Ace Foam Wing". The articles never stated the wing span.
Here is some information from a person who provides the wing cores on E-Bay
I'm not sure if this fits, but a fellow on E-Bay makes "Ace Wing Cores"
The span is 35-inches
Plans in the RCM corpus that used Ace wings include:
UPSTART pl-459
CASSUTT AND BONZO pl-469
SOPWITH TRIPLANE pl-478
LITTLE MULLIGAN pl-486
ALL STAR pl-499
