Nothing's ever easy, is it, and these new stabilisers take a bit of fettling to fit? They're 12mm GRP rods, with 8mm carbon-fiber rods inside, which themselves include 4mm threaded rods... a sort of belt and two pair of braces solution.
Even then I am not entirely convinced that they won't deform rather more than I'd want them to during a decidedly skewed landing, but the perfect is ever the enemy of the good when to comes to prototypes.
When I beef up the bottom-end next time it will all come out in the wash anyhow. Meanwhile I decide to stick with these slide-in stabilisers as it means the vehicle's footprint remains at a metre by two for transporting.
