The only things the wings need is a reinforcement of the tip ribs, scroll down to page 21 in this link: http://oh2fly.net/oldpoops/Lexan%20rear%20enclosure.html
The only thing the fuselage needs is a brace on either side of the lower rudder post to protect against excess side loads from the tailwheel, here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?t-198&highlight=tail+braces

Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really is amazing.

In addition to the outboard rib angles I added a lift handle with extra supports
at the wing tip. I also added extra "trusses" on the tailwheel support. See
attached pics.

Thanks for the great suggestions! Will include the outboard rib bracing and
tail struts for sure..... has anyone incorporated additional diagonal bracing
or a .016 to .020 aluminum leading edge?..... don't want to add weight and complexity
unless there is a reasonable upside.
Best regards to all who took the time to share ideas & photos,
Mike Cranson
