Default Fiberglass Reinforcemet

I've been told that the retract rails and engine rails in the Model Tech P-51 can be a little weak, and should be replaced with Maple or Hardwood.

What if I were to apply or wrap these rails (if possible) with Fiberglass tape and either CA or Epoxy? This should add some strength, right?

Besides, I think replacing the existing rails will be tedious and could weaken the remaining structure, specifically, the nose.

Thoughts?
