Hi!
As most of the others have already said: Clipped wing will be worse because it will increase the wing loading which in turn makes the plane more prone to stall and landings will be more difficult.
A tip! Build it light! A light plane will always be more forgiving in flight. Its also vital that you build the wing with slight wash-out in the outer portion of the wing, this will increase the likely hood of surviving the first flights.
But...before you even try flying the spit, prepare yourself by flying more aerobatic planes first so you get used to faster more maneuverable planes then just a high winged trainer.
