sniggemann just glass the center of the wings and as far as the landing gear put a second tourque rod type brace behind the already tourque rod type landing gear. This will help the gear out quite a bit also the three wing ribs that hold the the landing gear blocks take and laminate with liteply to also help reenforce the gear. Also cut out notches for the second tourque rod blocks. You don't have to use the flying wires but it does help the looks of the plane if you make the two braces that go from the fuse to the wings. I mounted the engine inverted and used a pitts style muffler with extencions out the cowl. The plane does have a little problem with sencitivity in the elevator but if you use high throw or low throw this will help. She is a little nose heavy on the ground but just feed in the elevator until she gets rolling and she will take off just fine. I also made the tail wheel free willing this help a little as far as ground handling. As my nick name says she is done up in Chrome monocote. with checkerboard on the bottom of the wings. I also mounted a glow battery inside the fuse for the engine less apt to have engine failure at idle.
