Would I need to beef up the Vert/hor stabs??
Thanks..
The hot stab, wing joints both should be beefed up, Glass the center of the wing as a minimum, maybe even carbon fibre. The hot stab needs to be beefed up to make more rigid, most people do some kind of balsa with carbon fibre skin for the hor stab. You should also look at the firewall to see if that will hold up, you may need more triangle stock or to glass the nose as well.
