Default Got a problem with my wooden spar.

I was working on one wing when the other wing (and I'm guessing)
vibrated of the supports onto the concrete. It broke the end rib which
I will have to build a new one. but it also broke one of the two 3/4 x
3/4 parts for the rear spar 12" from the end. Any ideas on how to fix
this? I'm thinking it's going to take cutting the broken part out in a
scarf style cut and replacing with a scarf joint, then sistering
another part onto the inside. Then just for the heck of it T-88 a
piece of ply across both parts at the joint. Anyone want to comment?
