I once overheard John Barker (the USA version) speaking of this. His
contention was that the larger surface should be considered the wing.

I'm not endorsing or rejecting this - just repeating what I heard. I
think if this is the "intention" of the rules then a rule change
clarifying that all surfaces must be 18" span maximum would be a good
thing. Maybe a similar rule for ministick as should also be introduced.
