The coroplast doesn't bend that well and is much better for straight panels. The sign paper is weather resistant, bends easily and is great for the curved portions of the structure. 1"x 3/4" wood lathe is light , rigid, easy to attach with glue and screws. I also used some bamboo for x-bracing and just hot-glued it into place. I tested the new tail today and it works great. The only modification I'll need to do is add another attachment from the tail structure to the MC frame as it as tipped downward slightly. I run another tank and see how much improvement there is with the new tail.
I'll post some pictures on my build thread. Let me know if you additional info.
