Default Question on wing.Keep together or take apart

I have 2 trainers here both a bit over 50 in wing span.

I have the Selct Super Srar-40 and the new Tower hobbies 40 that just came out.
It's got a bigger engine and flies nice.
Thinking of getting out the exoxy and make the wings a one piece .

Well...since nobody else is saying anything, I'll say this.
Am not familiar with the dowel and nylon straps to hold wings.
If transport is not a problem for a 60" & 62" wing, I would epoxy them. (30 min. epoxy)

As mentioned above, If transporting your plane with 60" of length is not a problem then I would Epoxy them and enjoyflying. :thumbup:

What they said. Epoxied together I bet you get more consistant flights.

Default What?

Trainers, High wings?

Why would you want two wing sections? I'd epoxy them together, unless you plan on joining them with the typical tubes that you see on larger low wing aerobats and what a pain that would be for hi-wing trainers. As mentioned above, unless your driving a Mini, you shouldn't have any problem transporting even a 60" ws aircraft in a VW Bug. Save yourself the trouble and epoxy those suckers together...

Default Thanks to all who responded

Hi Gang,
Many thanks to all who responded to my question on keeping the wings epoxied together.
Sounds like a very good idea to me also but wanted some input.
Many thanks
