Thanks for all the help. This is actually a replacement for my first Avistar. The first one crashed too many times now to look good so I'm putting together a 2nd one. This gives me a plane to fly untill next spring when I move up to a 4*. Anyway, just looking into some ways to improve on the Avistar as it is. Thanks again
IMO, it's pretty tough to improve on the Avistar

...
Other posts have indicated that tubber band hold downs are a good thing, and the wing sounds like it will be strong enuf... Fiberglassing the root will add strength, and if it makes you feel better, have at it.... But if your last Avistar didn't suffer any wing strength "issues". likely this one won't either...
Enjoy!
