I also added extra "trusses" on the tailwheel support. See attached pics.

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.
