I just recently purchased an original Firestar with the 5 rib wing. I was wondering if it will be safe to fly over gross? It weighs in at 330lbs and it has a 6 gal tank with a 447. Right now with my weight and the weight of full fuel, I'll be about 90lbs over gross. I'm not going to fly it in high winds and will fly it during calm days, but we all know sometimes you can be as safe as possible and still fly into some bad things. I just want to know if I'll be ok as long as I don't push it. Another question is, I seen you can add additional ribs to the wings. Making a 5 rib wing into a 9 rib wing. I would like to know how to go about doing that, and if it really is  beneficial. I'd rather not buy a 7 rib wing and just make my 5 rib safer. Are there any videos or anything written on that.
