Wing support
Got a sweet deal on discontined model at a swap meet this weekend. It's an ARF Morris Balsa nova 40. No manual came with it. The guy that sold it to me said he would send it in the mail. I have most of the build figured out and it looks fairly easy. The on;y thing I cant figure out is an 18 inch wooden dowl that I'm certain is part of the wing joining procedure, but there are no marking or holes anywhere to be seen on the inside porttion of the wings where they join together. Guess I'll just have to wait on the manual to come in the mail. Was hoping that maybe someone here had put one together. Can't find the manual online anywhere. Lots of threads on the model, but very little info. Couple of folks at the ARF site have promised manuals as well. I guess I'm just anxious to fly.

RE: Wing support
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?

What engine you gonna put on it?
I bought mine already built and it came with an OS .46 fx. I didn't get a manual either, but I love flying it, it does the best knife edge of all the planes I have. If I were building a new one I think I'd go with a .55. I'd also ditch the two piece main gear if you can and go with a one piece. It will help a little on rough landings. Hope you get it in the air soon and give us some pics!

Mine has pull-pull cables on the rudder with dual pushrods and elevator servos. I'd agree that a .46 La would fly it fine for normal sport flying. It's not quite as ''floaty'' as my Somethin Extra, but it's close.

You would be correct, I've already had to epoxy my belly pan back on after it came loose in flight and only the monokote holding it on. The dowels and wing bolts are part of the wing itself.

RE: Wing support
Yours is a little different than mine. Looks like your belly pan is actually part of the wing joining assembly. But I'd agree with you on the epoxy, CA might be ok where the sides of the belly pan meet the wings and for the strip you mentioned but I'd use epoxy on the ribs and joiners. Good looking plane, you're going to like it.

RE: Wing support
I agree. Strip away as much covering from the wing root as will not show in the fuselage & under the bellypan and epoxy on fiberglass.
You want to end a snap roll with the same number of wing panels as you started with.
