How was that gull wing joint made strong enough? just scarfed and

Mark,

there are a bunch of pictures here from an Australian Minimoa build project.. A few of the pictures show the spar construction, with the gull wing and the sweep. Looking at the first picture it looks like there is some scarfing going on just inboard of the kink in the wing.
