It will be interesting to see how rigid it is (or not) once I get a complete layer of fiberglass all the way around it.

I've heard good things about the strength of composites. Here's hoping for "torsion-box strength!"

I'm also thinking about adding "combination holes" to the underside of this.

The idea is that it would be some some sort of recess that would have a cross bar or something similar. That way, it could be a hole that the prop-stick could go in, but it could also serve as a tie-down point for safety-straps, or a lifting point when carrying it.
