martin collins 1 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 At the wing fitting stage on my foamboard build, going with the traditional two dowels at the front, 2 bolts at the rear but am wondering the best way to get the strength in the wing for the rear mounting points. Is it as simple as cutting a rectangle out of the top and bottom skins and letting in a balsa block to put the bolts through or is there a better stronger way that those who have built more find works well? The rear spar is too far forward to attach to on this model. Replies from those who have made removable wings on their foam builds appreciated, gluing it on to the fuz is not an option due to the models bulk.

Eric Robson Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Hi Martin, This is the method I used for the Mosquito, the fuselage as a similar plate that the wing sits on and has captive nuts to retain the bolts. The centre core of the fuselage has foam board either side to strengthen it and the top of the fuselage lifts for for access to the bolts and battery.
