I have been flying "The Bug" for about a year. It will SAL fine and
all I have done is add a .056 layer of fiberglass with CA to the
wing tip for strength. I have also sprayed the fuse with 3M77 and
added the .056 FG to it with CA. It helped because I was learning
and had some hard landings. The CA and FG do not add much weight.
You should build a second wing with an extra #3 rib on both sides.
That extra rib adds a lot of area and not much weight. It will make
it a little less responsive but it will float even better.
