Gavin Thanks a million! It was a very interesting/educatioinal web site. I have not seen this before but I have designed the very same folding wing hinge, but cylindrical and in aluminum, sliding in/out thru the center of the spar. However both designs require constant removal and replacement of the many wing attach bolts, a chore that I dread. There has got to be an easier and fail safe way to do this...... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gavin Magill" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 11, 2010 2:57 PM Subject: KR> Folding Wing Design
