I used a Gotcha foam wing with a Flight Streak/SkyRay 35 fuse & it few very well with an LA 25.  Bill Bishoff has a great way to cover these wings and they can really take a beating.

Gotcha! Of course! Here's my Streaker..

Construction is duck soup. Cut your own 1/2" fuselage & 1/8" tailfeathers, Spray with rattle can. Cover wing and stab with colored Japanese tissue and brush on with water based Polyurethane. Trim was printed on my HP Officejet, cut out and "doped" under the japanese tissue. no need to bother cutting out each letter, just cut a rectangle with the text on it. The white paper won't show!

  Steve T and Ward-O does the o/b wing fly high with the b/c mounted on top of the wing like that?
  If not what did you do to prevent it from happening?

  Again thanks for the help... H^^

Yes mine did fly with the O/B just a little high, but it still flew very good.  I flew it straight into the ground and the wings came loose at the trailing edge. So I repaired it with no cosmetic thought and am anxious to see how it works.  I am using it to learn to fly inverted, so an O/B wing low doesn't worry me so much as it would most of you guys.
