Default Wing sheeting required?

Hi All


I wish to design a trainer plane with engine os .25 fx. I want to to know whether i can make the wings strong enough without sheeting ? i will be using hardwood spars ( 2-3 top spars ,2 bottom spars and le / te spars) .I am also thinking of sheer webs. If I use so many spars will it make the wing strong enough ? Or will it just add weight ?

I also wish to know what are the pros and cons of making steerable nose wheel and rudder control . I think I will never use it because I will take off straight and land straight down, and in air I will steer by using ailerons and elevator. Moreover I will save weight by reducing a servo in my aeromodel.

Please guide me

Thanks
