I think this post is very telling, in why you haven't had any other posts
answering your questions.
It is a very risky procedure, to start major design modifications, or
substitutions to a critical structure, like a wing. If it fails, you are
probably dead.
No one here is likely to be very comfortable having any part of advising, or
being an accomplice of such a substitution of such magnitude and scope.
So although I think it is a bit of a cliché, If you have to ask, you do not
know enough to be asking.
My best advise? Build it as drawn, or find a plan that has what you want,
in the original design.
