RE: CMP 160 sized Texan
Hi guys,
I used a 3/4 dowel glued into the wing panels and held in trhe center section with a 4/40 bolt tapped into the dowel through the fiberglass. The bolt is only to keep the wing from sliding apart and it is really tight. I gained 2 1/2 oz for the dowels and lost all the slop from the tubes. I believe it is worth it for the strength and being able to take the wing apart. I also did the flap, however I only did the center section. It is about 19 by 2 1/4 inches. Saw a Yellow aircraft with only the center section and it performed great. Really slowed down the big bird with no adverse nosing up or down. Made the center section a Fowler flap.
