I had a couple of these back in the 90's ... I've got the bug to build something, and I already have most of the wood. We'll see...
On that one, the top wing attached with (2) #10 or 1/4" (I don't recall which) nylon screws going up through the top of the cabane, vertically into the wing. I had solid balsa "meat" there, with which to tap threads into.
I built the original kit when they first came out in the 90's, and it was one of the best flying planes I have ever owned.
