Default Help! Need Advise Boxer 45 Wing construction

I'm doing my second foam wing and I need some advise from someone that has done a Salient Designs Boxer.
1) Does the Boxer 45 really need the1/2" by 1/32" L shaped plywood wing spar? I have been advised to skip it, and I'm not sure what to do.
2) For the landing gear blocks I have been advised to sheet the wing then cut a hole for the maple blocks and glue them in. The Boxer plans show a plywood structure ( W1,2,3) that you install before sheeting the wing, then gluing the maple block in later. Which is the better way to go? Does a small plane like the Boxer 45 need the extra ply structure?
Thanks.
