Default RE: Help attaching wing

Make sure that the fuse sides that the wing will be attached to can't flex and twist outwards at the front of the cabin. The wing creates both induced and parasitic drag which will want to pull on the wings in a backward direction in flight, even more so with a fat, flat bottom, under cambered or Clark Y kind of airfoil and constant chord wing. The cabin at the trailing edge of the wing will have to deal with some compressive force, the way i see it anyways.
