Hello. I am carefully considering the purchase of a complete Moose Kit that has not been started. I am aware of the documented issues with tail damage possibly due to flutter on some planes. I am considering adding doublers to a large portion of the rear fuselage section adjacent to the horizontal stab. Doublers are used to strengthen C185 seaplane fuselages, where they have proven to enhance strength over a prolonged period etc.
I would also consider making other improvements to enhance the strength of the tail section after careful analysis. Informed suggestions are welcome. Thank You.
