I am building a Barracuda, an all wood high performance retractable. I want to put additional fuel tanks in the outer panels of the wing. The airplane has a three piece wing with a center section & 2 outer panels. The airplane as designed has tanks in the center section just outside of the fuselage. I am interested in finding someone with the expertise to help me with this modification. I have come up with my own design for accomplishing this but have decided that I need some qualified help to make sure this will be a structurally sound modification. Any leads on who I might contact would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I've attached a picture of the outer panel as well as one of my idea for the mod.
