Wing Strut Attachment
I am working on a 1/4 scale military cub and looking for a simple way to attach the wing struts to the fuselage. The plane has two removable wings. Where the struts meet the fuselage there are two flat plates that overlap and a nut and bolt is supposed to connect the two. I have seen something that looks like a round metal pin that has a flange on one end to keep it from pulling through and a hole throught the shaft for a cotter pin on the other end. Does anyone know there they can be found? Also if someone has a better solution I'd appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Roy

RE: Wing Strut Attachment
PM me, I'll send you two 10/32 clipnuts. They just slide on the metal plates and the screw goes right thru them held on with a selflocking nut. Its fool proof. After about ten years the nuts start to wear and all you do is run a 10/32 tap thru them and your GTG (good to go).
