That adds about two inches to the boom which is about right for SAL.
Are you adding an extra #3 rib to increase the wingspan to 34.5
inches? It's a mod that improves the glide and float.
See message #202 and 436 for instructions on building the extended
wing. Message #212 has my recommendation for the boom.
