Struts snap-in design
Hi folks,
The attached pictures show the design of the snap-in arrangement.
No screws needed. Snaps-in in less than 5 seconds.
Same for removal.
A similar arrangement is used at the bottom of the fuselage and a wire across the fuselage takes the tension of any strut tension or compression forces on the struts.

P.S.: Added by editing.
The leading ege and trailing edge do not appear parallel in the picture.
That is a perspective effect due to the camera being centered more on the ribs than the left side of the picture.
End
