Well, the project is for a 1/5 scale Italian designed set of plans for a Macchi 202. The plans look to be drawn by a fellow with only one ink pen and imitating Brian Taylor. I am having numerous problems with it, the most notable at present is that he tends to like HUGE sheets. They don't fit my digitizer tablet. Other is that he assumes we all know the thickness of the wood to be used, as there is nothing stated as to the ribs. Some look to be 1/8" whereas others measure a good 3/32" thick.

Moreover, I probably should have stated the question a bit differently. I realize the forces are small in comparison to a real A/C, but what would the change be? Additional lift, or poorer penetration, or new stresses? Would like to find out ala a real A/C what this change would be like.
