MTK on post #17 mentioned spring loaded dowels to hold the wing on. I remember seeing this on "helpful hints" back in a 1960's or 70's magazine that I can't find any more.It seems to me that someone was selling some system for the spring loaded pins too.Any pictures of these? Same as the Velcro. I NEED PICS. I had to laugh at the plane with the two rubber bands. I had a two meter Drifter glider with an .049 on whe I was a kid that I took to the field to fly and found the rubber bands were left at home. There were two in the toolbox, so I gambled. I let my flying buddy try it out because it was kind of boring to fly. It was ok for about 10 seconds and then the wing crept forward and the leading edge up over the lip on the fuse, It kept doing loops that got tighter and tighter until the wing snapped and the fuse did a lawn dart thing and the wing came down a minute later. I couldn't find the motor which I really wanted bad. I searched for a while and then saw the two broken prop blades beside each other and dug in the sand for about 6 " . There it was. It destroyed the one wing panel so I glued the three pieces together and resilkspanned it, and it flew much better with the shorter wingspan, cutting through the wind better and was faster. Anyway I broke too many fuselage formerswith nylon bolts and would like a better clean looking way to attach the wing. Oh and I always put rubber bands on and shake the plane up and down until it doesn't move and then add another couple. Too many bands are no good either if you do hit the ground (not that it ever happens) I always put a few fresh bands on each day but sometimes reusea coupleleckie bands if they look ok. The fuel usually wrecks them. I like the bands from the hobby shop better than the cheaper Staples brand because they tolerate the fuel better.
