Default RE: Two (Three) - peice wing modification

Hi all!

For the Gentle Lady sailplane, we have the option to go for a wing with removable wingtips. The instructions clearly show how to do it, but each wing panel uses just one brass tube in the forward spar, apparently for weight saving.
Having read the Electra and Sophisticated Lady instructions, I have seen that they also use a brass tube in the rear spar for each wing panel. Is this a better thing to do in my Gentle Lady?Because as I understand intuitevely, the outer panels won't hold the correct angle of incidence with just one joining point (i.e they will rotate around the pivot).
