Funny, I'm looking at doing just exactly that with mine, when I get to that point. My intention was/is to add ply inside the wing and in the fuse (front & back) for bolts. It has worked for other planes I've done, should with this one too.

My biggest problem so far is trying to decide on whether I want to go with the original tricycle gear or make her a tail-dragger. I've already got a pretty good OS .40-LA for power, planning to do the single-servo bit for ailerons. Also looking at flattening the dihedral to make her a bit "sprightlier" - thinking seriously about just 1" total.
