Thank you for taking my comments in the spirit which they were intended.
One of the things that makes an Ult bipe different from many other models. Is the fact that the wings, cabanes and fuse make up a structure. Most planes the wing has nothing to lean on to gain strength. When you grab an Ultimate wing by its self it can be twisted and feels kind of flimsey. But bolt the whole thing to gether and it's like a bridge. This is why I was talking about keeping weight down. I had a friend that had 10 different GB Ult's back in the day. They flew great but he would loose one every time he dead sticked. He was reinforcing here and doubleing there until his were 5 lbs heavier than mine. I may be exagerating but he was using Enya 1.20 four strokes and smoke systems so I know they were 3-5 lbs heavier. Anyway my point being they just dont need all of that. I think you have yours well under control but you are not the only one reading this.
