I still don't like the fuse cut-out advise. I think there are better ways, like using a trippler that ties into the forward wing mount and the adjacent former.

I am gluing the ply rib cut-outs back in and reinforcing both sides of the cabane mount tabs with 1/32 birch ply. Also extending the shear web to this rib. This adds virtually no weight but adds considerable strength.

I am also adding stub ribs where the bass block mounts to the lower wing. This piece is only supported by a small lite ply web and balsa sheeting and is not tied into the spar. Again, very little weight added.

I will probably reinforce all the cabane screw hard-points with 1/32 birch ply (including fuse, cabane, wing). I have found this material to add an exceptional amount of strength for it's weight in high stress areas. There's plenty of scrap in the kit too.

I'll use two servos in the wing but one, conventionally mounted, for the elevator. I like dual ny-rods with plenty of supports and no inner rod protruding. Maybe I'll look at dual carbon rods.

Oh yea, I'll dowel and glass the fire wall mounting.

I suspect all my mods will amount to less than 4 oz (3% of a/c weight).

That's all for now.
