I think you have made a wise decision. I made my 1/4 scale Cub wing 3 piece, it was detailed on the plans and the Cub has struts anyway. The Telemaster has a low wing loading, doesn't need the added weight of modifications.

I recently broke a stab on my electric plane (one pictured), it was sure nice to be able to just unplug it to make the repairs. Good luck, if you have any questions let me know.
