Default RE: Nitro models pusher Bobcat?


ORIGINAL: Rube Goldberg

And since you guys with the Bobcat are discussing methods of fixing the wings to the fuselage so you can dismantle the plane, and seeing Vernons' Bobcat today, I thought about the method used in my Sig Somethin' Extra----cut a slot in each side of the fuselage just a bit behind the leading edge of the wing, and screw in and CA a "J" hook to each wing, then use a rubber band between the J hooks to keep the wings tight against the fuselage. That oughta be a simple fix, ya think?

Dave (as in not the brother of Carl!)
Great idea, I had a 1/4 scale extra that had a similar wing mounting system, except I ended up using zip ties and it held up great in that bird. I just want a way to remove the wing because knowing myself I'll probally have this bad boy up for sale before too long and making the wings removeable will make it a lot easier to ship.
