Default RE: Wing Strengthening-HOW?

If you soak a brown paper bag in a glue/paste type of mix this will add a lot of weight. The simple solution is to insert one CF arrow shaft through the center of the wing at roughly 25% of the chord. I have seen this done on a handful of planes and the wings are still together with VERY VERY little weight added.
