The wing section would have to be thicker. This is a 14' span, LOTS of lift-load near the center section.
The only way(s) to solve the current issue is to add struts, eliminate required excessive nose ballast, or add wire support like an Aeronca C-3 with the wing as is.
If you want to have plug-in wings as they are now, with nothing added, the wing section has to be a greater % thicker/ taller.... Maybe about twice.
