I'm building my first HLG and have a question about the finger hole design.

The plans show a simple hole in the bottom of the fuse just behind the ply finger peg. 
 I wonder if I shouldn't put a 3/8" tall "bulkhead" at the front of the finger hole to 
give more width to push forward against, and to add support.  And also a horizontal 
piece at the top of the "bulkhead" to keep the finger from sliding upward.
Made from 3/32" ply this shouldn't weigh much, but then I'm fretting about weight on 
this plane.

I did something similar on my Highlander foamie/slope plane and having a small 
"pocket" for the finger to fit into seems to help the launch when I chuck it off the 
slope.
