Default RE: Design changes in RC planes

Not sure if this is the correct thread but will give it a go. I am planning on scratch builing (from plans via RCM) an Akro Special (pattern ship) 66" w.s. Power 61 size.
I received the plans and noticed that the thickness of the wing at center root is 2 1/4". I plan on a foam wing (as per the plans) and a foam stab. I had plan on using bead foam from Lowes which measures 2" thick. So I plan on altering the tickness of the wing by 1/8" on each side while maintaining the same symmetrical shape . Any thoughts on my plan.Much appreciated.
