Default RE: 1/4 scale Pfalz DXV

Seth,

It's looking great.

So your query for attach points were for the wing panels then? It makes sense seeing the current progress photos.

The rare earth magnets would actually work in that scenario with the tube providing structural support. Regardless, I would add some sort of safety capture wire/cable in the event of a materials failure of the retainer mechanism just to keep the wing panel from sliding and dorking up the control surfaces while in-flight.

Two things I'm curious about:

1. How will you hide the seam where the panels connect (presuming the wing panels are in fact removable for transport?)
2. Do you have the skis for take-off and landing in the snow? You're almost done!

E~
