World Models P-82 Wing Joining
Perhap two maybe three years ago I set up one of those for my pylon team mate to race in the old SWRA pylon racing format primarily because there was a substancial handicap advantage for racing a multi. Because of this use it was desireable keep the wing a single piece plus some added reinforcement at the outboards. So here is how the transport problem was solved. A simple box like cradle was built with form fitting notchs and padding for both fuse's on the top of the assembled airplane. This frame was deep enough that the airplane could be turned over and set flat clearing the tails. After it was turned bottom up the wing was removed (the box frame held the fuse's in position and a quarter inch thick board bolted accross the fuse's bolted to a wing bolt hole. this just extended beyond the fusealge on each side and was wing nutted to the bottom frame. the result was both fuselage' and stab along with frame was one unit and the stab was never removed. This worked out well and reasonably convienent way to transport a difficult airframe.
