Default Sig somethin Extra getting started, mods?

Hello, about ready to start my second kit, and boy do I like the looks of it, the pieces literally fall out of the die.

I have heard, adding a couple inches and/or balance tab to the rudder will help the plane, anyone done this? Anything else that would make it a better plane? Does the blackish burnt edges of the laser cut wood affect glue adhesion? Do I need to sand the stuff off?

I plan on using wood glue for most of the contruction, as little CA as possible, I want to intentionally slow my building down, not to mention I glue everything everywhere with CA and the fumes make me see pink elephants.

Hope she goes together as good as it looks, will have a bench tested magnum .46 on it, engine screams, should be a good combo.

Any advice appreciated, and yes, I did a search on somethin extra, but wanted to post anyway.
