Looking better all the time. Question... are you going to support the pedals
just outboard of each pedal ? Looks like a real weak spot in the propulsion
system. A hard push forward of either pedal and......
I guess, now, retractable gear is out of the question !!

Roaming? You are my hero, buddy. But I do have some real concern that it looks like you used MDF for structural members. If so, that's not good.
1) Prime and seal the whole thing as if your life depended upon it. If MDF gets wet, it will turn into limp cardboard.
2) Avoid drilling holes, countersinking, or compromising any MDF structure. If you do, you are only asking for a major collapse.
It's easy being an armchair critique, but I admire your prowess. If you attempt her again, I would suggest that your longerons be hardwood or plywood oriented horizontally. That is where the main load will be ( perpendicular to fore to aft). Right now she looks like her main weakness is ability to absorb vertical flex loads (e.g., a seated rider over bumps).
She's is a beauty my friend.
