Default Need some advice...

I have just finished up my WM Sky Raider Mach I and have had some time to think about how everything went together (which is good I guess but can also be bad). Does anyone think that I need to reinforce the wings with a strip of fiberglass where they join? Has anyone heard of any problems with the wing folding?

Currently, the wing is joined together with a wood dihedral brace near the LE and a wooden dowl at the TE. I epoxied the crap out of the dihedral brace, the wooden dowl and the remaining surface area of the entire wing halves. Is this enough or do I need to fiberglass it. I don't really plan on pulling high G maneuvers but you know how that goes when you get a wild hair up your butt!

Thanks
