Okay guys... after reading about wing failures and the landing gear problems, I have decided to do the following:

I have Kevlar thread to reinforce the wing. 5 or 6 strands CA'ed on the top and bottom (and wrapped around the spars and ribs) should only add 2 ounces or so, and it will make the wing much stronger.

I am planning on glassing the LG block and firewall, but thinning the epoxy WWWWWAAAAAAAAYYYYYY down to save weight. I'm gonna go with a Magnum 80 or the Saito of about the same size. Yes the Saito will have more power, but unless I can find one with 5 gallons through it already I'm just not willing to break it in.

My question is: do you guys think that the reinforcement I have mentioned is adequate: I wanna keep it light. I wanna be able to use the stock fuel tank to save wet weight.

While I am at it and the cover is off the wing, should I uncover the fuse and bulletproof (Kevlar) it also? Another 2 ounces, yes... but if it needs it.......
