Default RE: Seagull Models Edge 540

I've read plenty on the Seagull Edge 540 but wanted to see if someone or a couple of you could summarize any enhancements that I will need to do I.E. Wing, tail.

The guy that I bought it from indicated to me that he has had no problems with the plane but he was using a .71 (don't remember who's) and I'll be using an OS 91 FX. do I need to pull the covering off the wing and reinforce anything?

The tail is a given regarding the flying wires. Don't know if I'm going wires or 1.5mm carbon rod with small rectangle carbon at the ends (I'll epoxy the flats,drill a hole through and epoxy ends of carbon) sounds like a lot of work but I've done this on another model and it's virtually indestructible ) of course I was also thinking of sheeting in CF or making another elevator and rudder out of ply) anyway the jury is out on exactly what I'll do regarding the tail surface. Most likely I'll wait till my first crash and rebuild the tail... Ok just talked myself into just the CF rod approach...very fast fix

Ok, so now I'm back to the wing. should I strip it down and reinforce it anywhere or just fly lightly until I see what she does?
