CH701 Long wings

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a partially completed CH701 kit from a local EAA chapter that had inherited it from a member that had passed away. The fuselage, empanage, and wings are mostly finished. Anyway I was looking at the wings and the notes the previous builder had made and he made the wingspan roughly five feet longer than the plans called for. So the final wingspan is 32 feet instead of the 27 feet. this also includes an extra two connectors for the flapperons on each wing so there are six flapperon connectors on each wing instead of the four. 

I wanted to reach out and ask if anyone had experience with extra long wings for the 701 and what kind of performance changes or build changes i should expect as I complete this project. 

Anyway thanks in advance, I am sure I will have way more questions as this projects gets rolling.
