I have replaced the wing mount assembly myself. It is pretty easy for the most part. There are 2 wood screws and one machine screw into a blind nut. I would suggest replacing it with a new one as soon as possible. Britbrat has a good solution so long as the diameter of the nut is larger than the hole in the mount and you must put it on the underside of the mount so it wont pull through. I am sure this is exactly what he means. Hot glue will break loose over time and that would be especially aggrevating if it started to spin as you were trying to remove the wing. Think of a spinning bling nut. You can readily buy replacement screw locks at most hobby store. Don't get carried away with torque as brass is easily stripped and crossthreaded.

Good luck


You could modify the flex assembly with a peice of light ply the same size as the rubber flex peice drilled to mount accordingly. after replacing the rubber peice with light ply you could mark and drill the ply to take a 1/4 by 20 blind nut to accept the wing bolt. I know these aren't good instructions on how to do it properly but I don't want to go into detail as this modification can definately degrade the performance aspects of the flex design. Your mileage may vary and you can only do this at your own risk. Remember that if you do this mod and you smack the ground your chances of damage go up exponentially.
