How thick is the dowel.....since its a midwing plane., is there a hole in the mid of the fuse for the dowel to be inserted with 6 or 7 inches or so sticking out each side for the wings to slide on to? Also do the wings have pins that mate with the fuselage to keep them from rotating?
the wings attach together as one piece. then a belly pan attaches underneath. One dowel centered at the leading edge, and two screw attach to the fuse on the trailing edge. Other than expoxing the wings together and useing the provided fiberglass cloth that goes around the wing joining section, there are no othe provisions for wing strength. THe dowel is somewhere @ 1/2 inch in diameter, looks just like a wing tube to me
