If you want to really gain some strength with very little weight gain,
add a fairing putty fillet to all the inside corners using a tongue

LOL... that reminded me of a saying back in my Toronto days: "Strong

But indeed. A radius'ed corner made with adhesive like that adds a
huge amount of strength by distributing the stress risers. I guess you
are smarter than you look, Lew..*G*
