RE: Four*60 engine question
Couldn't hurt to put some hard-points in and install some flying wires, but I don't think it necessary.
When I over-power an airframe I look at the firewall first -- drilled and pinned and triangle stock installed. Next, it's the wings -- great bond between both halves plus the seam is fiberglassed. I do (always) reinforce the vertical and horizontal stablizer at the fuse with tri-stock above and below.
Other than that (and good throttle management), never had a problem. (knock-on-wood, LOL)
