Clipping the wings of long winged airplanes like Cubs and Taylorcrafts has been done thousands of times. The general consensus is that you'll fly a little faster, get tossed around in the wind less, be more aerobatic (better snaps and spins, faster rolls), and land a little hotter. If that's what you want, go for it.

Making it two piece with a wood joiner would be easier than three piece for sure,, here's an example http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-w...l#post11145880
