Good morning Russ.
Or at least I think it may be morning where you are. I am in western Pennsylvania just for an fyi.

My thoughts on the 3 piece wing are ease of build, higher strength, less weight.

The quote from Dieter Reich about getting rid of the heavy wing fittings needed for a 2 piece wing keep ringing in my head.

Much lighter fittings would be need splitting the wing in 3. Plus flap/aileron sizing.

You can not argue the Arc layout.

Kenny, would it not be significantly stronger with continuous spar across the fuselage? It seems to me it would be. Phil, did you get your calculations done. Not that you haven't been busy but.. good humor intended sir.

And Russ here is a good photo of what we can do. A 16 foot trailer is a nice compact little hangar. 16x6 should be plenty.

Have a good day guys.
