I agree that it looks too weak, however. You'll want to put some backing in there. Actually, if I were you I'd try to use flanges on the next iteration--I think you could make a very similar piece that was plenty strong. Oh, and just as a note--I could see the pictured configuration rapidly ending up rubbing a wheel. Make it stronger, and bring it closer (if you need to in order to make frame perimeter length).

Looks like I have to give the manual another read-through. Thanks for the warning.
