Yes, the new layup requires more tape. The DBFN included the details on
the new layup about a year ago. I'd definitely say that anyone who has not
already built the wing/canard should use the new layup. The DBFN article
includes the amount of extra carbon needed, or you can call Viking.
I don't know if you really need to deepen the spar much - my depression had
plenty of space for more carbon - the carbon is INSANELY thin. I'd say go
by whatever it says in the article.
