Sorry about the late reply. I had a little problem putting it all back together and then going to the store for more beer. First things first.

Nope. Balsa wood with bamboo shoots to stiffen things up a bit. Colin Chapman would approve of that. Hmm. Grow it yourself remark reminds me. I need to out back and tend the *crop*.

Pull that heavy *** thing out....

It'll mess up your polar moment of inertia and totally screw over your 50/50 weight balance, that's almost as bad as one of 'dem 'merican veee ayts...
