Default Giles 202 Wing fixing

Hello,

what about fixing the wings?

Isn't it a very firmly fixing, using screws? In our Diablotin 2000, we use rubber-rings from wing to wing. Someone uses Festo-fasteners, which click together. What do you use?

The wing tube is rubbing because of the single cylinder motor vibrations and the black aluminium spreads out of the split all over the fuselage. How do prevent this appearence?

Is the original fixing save enough?

I fly mine so hard I've bent the aluminum wing tube. I bend the aluminum tube in any plane I fly that has one. Not the tubes fault, mine and only mine. All I use to hold the wings on are what the kit calls for. (4) 4mm screws, two per wing. They work just fine.

Use a coat of auto wax on the tube to seal the aluminum.

The W/H Giles is different from the Diabolatin I think it's the tail.[8D]

The only way I know of to keep the black crud from developing is to thane the tube anodized or plated. Better yet asve a few ozs and get a CF tube as they tend to be a tad bit larger to begin with and will fit in the wing better.
