OP has not been active on BF since 2012. No idea what he ended up doing with the Technium.

Even funnier when you realize that even modern airline jets are glued together. How will the nay-sayers deal with that on their next flight?

Very likely. Even back in the 80's and 90's, the planes I flew then had the aluminum skin panels bonded together to reduce the amount of rivets needed. Creating a smoother surface for airflow over the wing and a lighter assembly.

+1 repack bearings in hubs and BB.
For upgrades, I would look for used parts at a Bike Coop as a good way to moderate the cost of whatever change you would like to try. Then see if the change is an improvement.
