Brian,
Stab panels are small (about 115 sq inches each) and don't see the load a wing does. Carbon veil inside will add a lot of course. The panel would not need spars. I chose to do it the way I show.
I am planning to use some veil inside the wing panels, to go along with the basswood spars. The whole sheet doesn't need veil in that configuration. With basswood spars it probably doesn't need any veil. I will do veil to about half span primarily to allow easier handling without concern about breaking through skins
