Hi Kang.

 This would represent an increase from 0.009 to 0.011" from my existing stubs and would be significantly stronger. I've had failures here - not recently, but in the past.
 And an increase from 0.013" to 0.015" in the motor stick material in an effort to control torsional twist to something manageable in order to handle higher torque launches.
 

 If I am hearing you correctly, you propose extending the 0.015" to the rear wing post, then transition to the stub (I.e. 0.011"), then to tail boom 0.008-9"
 Motor stick would be roughly 10.5", stub length would remain 6" total (4.5" exposed roughly), and 18" tail boom.
 Correct?
 I think we be looking at roughly 50-70 mg weight gain. But it would handle those Slanic launches without too much wing twist.
 

 Regards.
