GWS stick FD building tips?
Anyone have any building tips for the GWS stick FD.
I'm a newbie pilot who has been cutting his teeth on an Aspire EP glider, but I'm looking for something more park friendly to fly.
The Aspire was purchased used, so I didn't build it.
I've got a GWS Pico Stick FD on the way and wonder about building it.
So far my only plans are to use 5 minute epoxy instead of the supplied glue and to maybe tape the leading edge of the wings.
Anything else?

From the indestructible thread, it looks like balsa behind the landing gear may be a good idea. Even the wire wing supports.
From the 'net it sound like using epoxy to join the wings, and not just the tape may be a good idea to reduce wing flap.
