Malcolm Fisher Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I'd like to know what, if any, reinforcement is given to the wing and how the plug in is effected. It looks as though there are stiffeners added to the rear fuselage corners with vertical spacers. Malcolm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
