[B]Paul nothing could be further from the truth as that statement. To suggest that two different model designs should be of similar strength because they are of similar span, Dihedral and Shape is patently ridiculous and For the reasons I outlined above.

John, thanks for all your insight. I was not saying that two wings are always of equal strength (of course they are not--as you said, the spar as well as other factors contribute to its stength). I stated that airplane wings, all things being equal, are subject to the same stresses, wingloading, etc. A cub wing is under no greater stress physically than any other plane wing, given similar dihedral, etc.
