Rye,
The pitts wrap around is the way to go, but now I have to come up with some more cash.
It seems to me that the compact one should definitely work simply because of the smaller diameter. Let me know what they say.
The diameter of the firewall is already the minimum recommended 1/4". Not sure if I'lllaminate it further, BUT I WILL add the hardword triangle stock and dowels.

Need your advice on something. Myright wing panel is 2 ounces heavier than the left. This is because a few sheets of balsa I used for the sheeting was a bit denser and heavierthen what came with the kit. So the question is should I add some weight to the lighter side to balance it?
