Traded for a challenger today in need of a redo. Thought about a total redesign of the original wing. Adding a boxed center spar and flat ribs. New lifting struts and a chrome molly cross over for the attach points. Chrome molly brackets to reinforce the ronnie brackets at the wing root. Better doors and an engine cowling.

I added a cowling to a challenger a few years ago and the 582 rotax could over speed the aircraft in level flight. So a stronger more substantial wing would be a necessity. Now, I am quite tired and its entirely possible that I have lost my mind. So over look this thread if your convinced I have done so......
