A and C

I do not question the strength of composite repairs. I am sorry if I implied such a thing.

Only thing I was pondering was how the joint would look. There are several ways to join composites and I may very well have used the wrong words.

I was thinking that the sharp long angle scarf joint would be preferred (due to strength etc), but the negative with this approach would be that a lot of unharmed material would have to be removed.

Then there are scarf joints that looks like small steps and of these there is one that I suppose have been used on the aforementioned glider.

Sorry in advance if I use wrong words. I am not familiar with the technical terms in English. I really should try to find pics to explain how I mean...
