cyborg1...Awesome idea and job. I may need to try that. My retract pans fitted okay, but after a few hard landings they are toast. The intructions don't point out the fact that the main retract pans are specific to each wing, because the bottom is contoured for a specific wing. Once I realized they wre not the same and needed to be placed in there respective wings they fit fine.

But anyway, I think what you've done will even add more strength for hard landings as well.
