Maybe it's a no-brainer to all of you, but if you were to start a build today, which route would you take? I prefer the 3-piece from a shop-size perspective, but prefer the aesthetics of the 1-piece... the cabanes, lack of brace wires. I understand that the 3-piece wing is stronger, but i don't believe that means that the 1-piece is not strong enough. It would certainly be easier for me to build three smaller wing components in my garage, but the 1-piece is not an impossibilty. At the same time, I'm trying to keep this build as simple as possible to give myself the best chance of finishing it, and I think the 1-piece may be simpler. I'm sure there are many other arguments for both, and that's what I'm trying to learn from all of you.

Thanks
