yes, you will have to redesign the whole plane because after you redesign the wing,  you have to redesign the
thing it connects to and then the thing that that connects to.

It would be much easier redesigning the GOAT  with the aluminum tubes as it is much easier to just use larger and thicker wall tubes.

 Hey all.  I have been looking at
 some light gliders and came across the 
 ULF.  I was looking at one called the Goat but the
 useful load was way 
 too low for me.  It looked somewhat easy to build but I
 weigh anywhere 
 between 250 and 280 depending on my eating and
 exercise.  I noticed the 
 useful load was 220 which is still too low but perhaps with
 a bit of 
 redesign in the wing by extending it to 38/40 feet. 
 Might require some 
 beefing up of the spar.
 
 It looks like the model planes I have built and I have fair
 woodworking 
 skills.
