kblack,
Bondo is pretty much a generic name used for all body fillers in my experience.
Nothing in the military is el-cheapo since we taxpayers pay for it!! Having spent 32 years in the Navy I can vouch for that.
I think fillers may be allowed on civil transport aircraft, but not on light aircraft structural parts.
I would not hesitate to use any type of slow sander but a disc sander or grinder I would not use.
Again, use only plain sandpaper on Al.

This is the kind of sander I use:

I buy a roll of sticky backed sandpaper. There are air powered sanders like this that are cheaper but don't last as long. The DA head is interchangable with a regular 5" grinder. I suspect if you have a good tool shop they may be able to get the head separately and save some money. Part numbers are 43-64-0170 for 5" and 0190 for 6" I stripped most of a car in about 3 hours and a roll of 80grit sanding disks. It is messy but if you don't need to media blast, it is the next best thing and not as messy. You can go right to primer from doing that. I think the electric is more powerful and a little faster then the air powered versions plus I don't have a very big air compressor so electric makes sense in my case.

Kevin I've seen just the DA head for sale somewhere and IIRC it was a Milwaukee part. It had 5/8-11 threads to fit a regular 4" grinder. I took the head from an air powered one I had and modified it to fit my 4" Dewalt electric grinder. (was an old one) With in an hour of use a wire broke in the motor winding and I went out and bought a new air powered DA
