Understood. Thanks Kenny. Yes you are right the pilot overstressed the airframe.
I still think a continuous spar/d tube running through the highest load point could be better. Just my personal opinion.

Now, one may, in the end, be lighter, but no reason one should be any stronger than the other. Also, if I remember correctly, the failure came as a result of pilot-induced over load (even according to the pilot! As I said earlier, before realizing that they had switched to a 2-piece wing, I do think that should be lighter for the same strength.
