Trying to dry it out with KR2 & heat with towels but this may be a perfect candidate for a twin conversion. It has a 79 inch wingspan with the added wingtips.
did you design the nacelles yourself or are there plans to do this somewhere?
I designed the nacelles myself but they were super simple. They were just a light ply box that fit between the wing ribs. The box was notched to fit over the spar and I removed the leading edge and I'm pretty sure I sheeted the wing one bay on either side of the nacelle. A fuel tank sat between the firewall and spar. The servos were behind the spar. I cut the original firewall out and pulled the sides of the nose together as close as I could and built in a structure in between. I think the landing gear came from a 4 Star 120. I checked the photo and I pretty sure this was 20 years ago.
