Not my area of expertise, but I had a Mibo Swift of similar size that had a 10mm fibreglass round joiner. I guess a 10mm carbon tube with a suitable steel rod inside that would cover all possibilities. Can you not get the 12mm flat steel joiner where you are? (You can buy it from Gliders Distribution)

hello chris tell me if I understood correctly
question 1: the 1/8/10/18 ribs are used to position the wing on the site, is it ok?
question 2: once the 2 half-wings are placed face to face, we position the wing key
