GP Super Sporster 60
A couple of questions.
The plans don’t call for shear webs. Are they necessary?
The ribs that hold the landing gear blocks only have 1/16 ply doublers and only one side. Should this be beefed this up at all?
Thanks for any replies.

RE: GP Super Sporster 60
As designed, the model has no particular problems. The wing most certainly doesn't need shear webbing.
As far as the landing gear mounts are concerned, the dead-stock kit has had an excellent performance history. If you think it needs to be "beefed up", then add what you think you need. Of course, a hard landing can damage anything. The current design would allow a very hard landing to let the landing gear blocks come out of the model without major damage to the wing structure. If wood is added to "make it stronger", then such a hard landing could cause more damage to the wing.
