Default RE: TiteBond

Here a question regarding Titebond II and epoxy. I am building the wing of a F4U Corsair, a 1/8 Pica Kit. The main spars are made of 1/8 ply, and the two halves are sandwiched in the middle (back and front, see pic) between two 1/8'' ply braces that extend about 14'' from the middle. The spar/braces are 2'' from top to bottom. My first instinct would be to use Titebond. The surfaces are flat, they can be securely clamped, and I can easily clean up the many slots before the glue sets. Strengthwise, long grain against long grain is perfect for Titebond. The wood would fail long before the glue. However,
I also know the mantra "thou shall not laminate with Titebond". So what would you guys do? I do not want to end up with a warped spar, or worse. Time is not a big issue, I can let it sit for a few days...
