Keith,
I like the modification. As you go further let me see some more pictures. My concern is how to hold the wing down with the covering not being flat on the wing top. Also what are you going to do to keep air from going inside the fuse if you don't fill it with balsa or plywood. Same thing on the rear of wing. Let me know with some pictures. I am going to do it if you can make it work. I'm not in any hurry to finish the fuselage and wing anyway. I still have to build the floats and make the landing gear functional. I'm also going to put the flying wires complete with turn buckles on the tail. I already put in some blocks to hold the wires. Are there wires on the bottom also or just the top? I'm building the cockpit now and it's looking promising. What do you think about making functional doors? I'll have some more pictures soon.
