Just another option -

My brother and I just built his Lancair.

We didn't see any easy way of glassing the bottom of the wing without making a mess of it. (especially around the landing gear attachment area)

The two mods we did do were -

We filled the elongated hole in the root rib with a small piece of light ply so we could fill the voids with epoxy. This makes the wing joint solid. It's not just holding by the small outer strips of wood.

The biggest improvement I feel that we did was to make an aluminum joiner plate for the landing gear. This is a .100 thousands thick piece of aluminum plate cut and drilled to go over both landing gear halves in one piece. Like a huge washer. We also stepped up one size on the screws to #6

You can see it in this pic. (It really needs to be polished or better yet painted to match though.)
