Ruprect Spode Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Lovely model Jim, what is the wing attachment method used? Ruprect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo565 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Ruprect The plan shows a one piece wing,I modified it with a centre section and removable wing panels for ease of transport. The centre section has an aluminium bracket which locates in a slot in the former in front of the leading edge and single bolt fastening at the trailing edge.
