A few pictures of what I have done so far:
The main modification is to add hardwood blocks into each wing where the Dowel Rods that mount the wing to the fuselage will be located. I added some ply and epoxy then went through each wing and put CA along all the ribs and points I could reach. I put in a 1/4" dowel on each section of wing to help in alignment plus I extended the length so that it should take a small amount of the load and keep the wing from flexing too much.
For the Sierra Retracts to fit you have to notch the center tube and aluminum tube.
I will also add epoxy to the gear mounts once I have everything figured out for the 5" tire.
You can see in the pictures that with the 5.5" recommended wheel it won't fit into the wheel well. I guess Darrell from Sierra sent the wrong length. If the 5" won't fix the problem then next step will be to modify the length.
