WCB, I don't doubt you at all. I have been flying mine for over a year, and I know there are some places on the plane I would like to see heavier wood - such as the bottom section just behind the firewall. After a year's worth of riding in the cradle to and from the field, I have had to rebuild that section, as it crushed just from the weight of the engine (26cc gasser). But, it is what it is, I guess.
I do like this plane.
