Default RE: 156

Have you thought about using a medium strength vertical web spar and utilizing the wing skins for the strength?
I make composite wings and the spar is used as a spacer for the skins which take nearly all the loads.
A lightweight I shaped spar which has carbon at the top and bottom with vertical grain balsa between. Saves a lot of weight.
Only my 2 cents worth or Thai bahts worth.
