I need Help!
Planning to build a Norvel .074 powered Nick Zroli 42 inch Jenny -- going for 4 channels, scale (sorta scale) ailerons. I need some ideas on how to attach all those wing struts. I thought I would build the wings to attach to the fuse together -- platform at the top of the fuse, maybe ply stubs to attach the bottom wing, so that I wouldn't have to disassimble the wings to transport. Am at a stumblilng block as to how to put all those wing struts on without a ton of weight. Any Ideas, fellows? PLEASE!!

hi, on my fokker i soldered terminal ends from radio shack onto the ends of struts, and screwed them to lite ply plates in wing w/ servo screws.

you must really like those terminal ends, you have them on your aileron linkages in the wing of your plane!

yeah, they are cheap, solder well, and work pretty good! I often use the sig mini strip aileron links, but when out of them, it's time to go to radio shack! a good source for 2-56 bolts, too.

Wild Fred --- I'll take a look at those terminal ends from Radio Shack -- they might work for me for this application. Anybody else got any ideas? Will I have to use rigging to stiffen up these wings?
