1) Replace the fiberglass arrow shaft wing joiner with a 9/32" O.D.
brass tube.
2) Instead of carved Balsa to support the joiner tube, use Balsa
wedges, and fill in the remaining gaps flush to the spars with
an epoxy and microballoons/spheres mixture.
3) Apply CF cap strips to the spars and ribs in the inner pannels.
4) Wrap the spars with Kevlar thread from the root out to the
polyhedral break. Close spacing over the joiner area.
5) Add spoilers (suggest one servo in each wing).
6) Drill lightening holes in the wing ribs and fuselage.
7) Replace the ruberband wing hold-down with nylon bolts.
8) Change the airfoil so you can add ailerons and flaps ...
The list goes on and on.
