The wing saddle issue has been noted by several others. All basically did the same thing. I had to as well on mine. Just drilled out the holes more so the dowels would fit and the wing would lay down smoothly in the saddle.
I'm using a Fuji 50 on mine and haven't had any problems with the Cabbane brackets. Let me ask you. Did your model come with one or two forward and one or two aft? I have two forward and two aft and was wondering if this was the same set-up as earlier models? Probably is, but thought I would ask. They do seem pretty thin.
Let me know what solution you come up with concerning the brackets. Have any pictures?
