Hi David
The glue will do!
To set you mid at peace, built several test pieces and test to destruction
(this is what I did when splicing my spar after a crash).
1. Build with glue only
2. Glue and nails
3. Glue and a fibreglass strip
4. Glue, nails and a fibreglass
Yes Dan, I do want them so as to have a matched set and I will make them
available to others should the need arise.

that is clearly not the case. The specs say that it is similar to T-88. A
fuselage glued with T-88 needs no additional re-enforcement. I use it for
all structural needs and do not add anything to "help" it out.

Nails are not a good idea - they weaken the structure. And extra glass =
