Default zagi build question

easy one,

I'm building a Zagi 60, my first wing.

The CF spars are only 48" so they don't run the entire length of the wing. Should I install them
1. flush with the wing tip
2. flush with the center (root?)
3. centered between wingtip and center

I'm thinking option 1 given the center support from the plywood brace
Thanks.

run it from the wing tip. If you don't run it from the wing tips, and instead run it from the center of the zagi, the ends of the plane will start warping. Big mistake I made on one of my zagi builds, had to tear it apart and respar it from the tips.
