Default Will this work?

I've just gotten a new Avistar fuselage in the mail, and will be mating it with the original wing and tail feathers from the first one that crashed on me. No problem...

While waiting for the new fuse to get to me, I tried my hand at repairing the damaged fuse. I replaced the right side from the aft radio compartment bulkhead all the way forward. It looks right with no warping. Now for the question...

I know that I can pretty much build a new set of stabs, but I've never built a whole wing. I ordered a plan for a trainer kit from RC Modeler magazine today that looks similar to the Avistar and lists the wingspan as the same measurements. Do you think I could graft this wing onto the rebuilt fuse I have?

The fuse is cut for the "Semi-symetrical" airfoil, but I was thinking I could either pad it or insert a straight wing saddle to seat the wing if it is a flat bottom.

Does anyone see any problem w/doing this?

Also, I was planning on making this one a tail dragger. Comments?

Thanks!
