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!!

Status: offline 		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.

Status: offline 		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?
