Default RE: Help attaching wing

Hi, thanks again for the reply. Since I am planning on making the wing struts functional, is there a better way of attaching the wings? I was originally thinking about using two metal rods welded to a 1/8 inch metal bar. The metal bar would then be screwed to the fuselage and the wings would slide on and be secured by a screw into each rod. The fuselage would be a double layer of plywood where the wings attach. My concern with this is whether or not it will be strong enough, and if it will weigh too much. I thought about using aluminum, but I don’t have the tools to weld aluminum.
