Regarding bracing: Many LPPs have bracing on the wing post, which appears to be allowed.

However, bracing of the motor stick is probably not allowed based on the phrase,

"21.3.4. The motor stick shall be solid and made from a single piece of wood. (The tail boom may be a separate solid piece.)"

If motor stick bracing were allowed, I would use it for super high torque Lakehurst launches.
