Just to clarify, you want to be able to assemble the wing into three pieces for ease of transport?

I usually would only do a two piece as you figure even at extremes each one would be the a bit less than the length of the fuse. so it doesnt buy you much in transport but adds to complexity. In my glider days I woulid build 3 piece as each piece could be quite long.

Usually done with a wing tube. In this case, the only different thing is the removable center section. Still need a long support (tube or spar) through the center and deep into the wings.

Good luck,
