Well, those are good ideas, but if you've read the thread you would know this is a plank foam core wing with full sheeting. No struts at all on this ship either.

I'm getting used to flying it and watching it coming in on approach all dog-style. It certainly has activated my yaw awareness and rudder fingers!
