Nicely done!
Personally I stopped flying off gravel bars in the local Columbia and Snake rivers because I got tired of stones punching holes in the fabric on the underside of my fuselage and stabilizer in my fabric Maule. The metal bottom of the Cessna is a big advantage. Enjoy.

My horizontal stab has thick rubber leading edges,it got some dents under it from rocks , but not too many or big enough to bother me at all.
One time 1 VG was bent,I just replaced it and was good to go.
