I looked at this layout with the alu chassis and sidepods... to me it felt on the table as if the longitudinal flex of the chassis was very bad (torsional flex didn't seem affected much). I ditched it and went for
this inline layout (which has at least 65% on the back). So how do you find the flex levels affected on the DIMEC chassis' then?

And how's the rigidity levels on your chassis FrogPrince?
