I'm working on another project (Turner T-40) that uses the laminated strip spar with stub wings..
It also calls for an O-235 or larger engine... The strip-spar is HEAVY. Very HEAVY. And you do want to have stubs, because (a) it makes your plane 'movable' by truck, (b) it's easier to build the wings when you don't have to do the entire span from one piece of wood, and (c) you absolutely do NOT want to have your landing gear outboard of your wing joint (assuming that you try to join the wings at or inside the fuse).
