I'm considering using a 3-peice wing since twin engines are mounted to the stub section or else I would use a 2-peice wing with a tongue and fork connection inside the fuselage. Anyway I've seen a few designs and I am considering a solid wood stub spar that the wing panels lag bolt to from the top and bottom using 8 steel plates (.250 1-1/4 x 18") for the dual spar wing. The plates are glassed onto the pultruded carbon fibre wing panels with many wraps of fibreglass. This seems about the simplest way but has quite a few bolt to tighten (16). Does anyone see any problems with the method?
