Default RE: Just got the Phoenix Super Decathlon

Yea, I love the Dec's... Something about them, to me they are beautiful... Dec's and Extra's... Go figure.
Yea, I fold mine back and use a peice of string to tie the struts to the fusalage... I got rid of the clevises on
the other end though... To much off and on, I was always bending the pins and stuff (old eyes ) and having to
replace them.. I put some small ball joints on the little brass thingys that are in the wing and the female part
on the struts... Now I can just snap them on and off... Has worked great so far...
I keep thinking of larger planes, but the logistics alone would be a pain for me. 60 - 70 inch wing is right in my
ball park
