It's not just a spar stretch. The wings are built to CH750 drawings with some modifications to fit the 701. The rib spacing is from the 701 drawings (to match strut placement) with an additional rib 400mm outboard. Additional changes include strengthening the fuselage, widening the stabilizer/elevator (strengthened).
Yes the outside flaperon attachment is moved to the outside rib. Spar doublers were put in the outside flaperon for the extra distance.
Too many changes to describe here. It took about 8 months to scratch build the modifications. Now I am having too much fun to repaint just yet.

Very nice work Ken.
Which spar stretch ,method did you use. It looks like you moved the original flapperon end hinge instead of adding one?
