I know I have described my experience with the Score several times, but will cover it again here. My experience began when the engine parted from the rest of the fuselage in flight! It pulled to the right and the prop took a bite out of the right leading edge, The rest of the airplane flopped down in good shape.
On my airplane, all the hot glue was coming apart, and that is what caused the problem. I could pick it off the joints with a tweezers or hemostats. Then I just used thin C/A along all the normal glue joints to re-assemble the front end, with some thinned epoxy brushed along the joints to help out and fuel proof things. I added some balsa triangles here and there where they looked like they might help out. After I was finished, it only added a half ounce to the overall weight of the airplane, including fixing the leading edge of the right wing. There is nothing wrong with the structure or design, the problem is the glue they used. One observation after I made the repair. I had never felt much vibration, really none at all, at the handle when flying the model. After the repair, I could feel the engine running at the handle. Nothing disturbing, just a significant difference. That is how "loose" the front end of the airplane was before the incident, and how solid it was after. I did not alter the engine offset. The model flies well enough as it is and I did not see a need to change anything. Mine had fuselage mounted carbon gear, and you may want to consider fuse mounted gear and install the necessary stuff to do that at this stage. As for beefing up the wing mounts, I didn't have to deal with that, but I would at least try to duplicate the rib sections where the blocks attach to the wing as a re-enforcement there, at a minimum.
What engine are you planning on?
Type at you later,
