In may case, bacause I have already built the wings with pairs of W18 each side,
so that the wings can be reconverted to outrigger type if a subsequent owner
wished and because altering the (foam) wing structure would mean convincing the
regulatory authority that the wing is still able to meet its responsibilities,
a
can of worms I prefer to leave unopened.
