Paul,

Here is the passage on making the wings removable from my review. I also think I have some pictures stashed away on my other computer if you want I will look for them.

The instructions indicate that the wings should be glued onto the fuse with epoxy. Although I don't recommend disassembling this plane every day I wanted to retain the ability to disassemble the plane to work on it. I installed 1/4 inch wing bolts 1.5 cm ahead of the small metal pin in the front of the wing. I drilled a small pilot hole from the outside in the correct location, put the wing on and with the same drill bit marked the wing through the hole (from the inside of the fuse) and then drilled the hole in the fuse and the wing with a 1/4" drill bit. I installed a blind nut in each wing half and used a small amount of CA to secure it and finally put the bolt in with a nylon washer.


Jammer,

I will try and remember to measure it exactly tonight and report back. The spoileron movement is very very small.
