Erik, I have used the Multiplex wing snaps on several of my recent projects. This inlcudes a 1/3 Duo Discus, a 1/3 scale Salto, and a tug based on a 1/3 Salto. These are very cheap, hold well and will release in event of something catastrophic. They are basically little nylon connectors, one part in the fuse, the other in the root. Doesn't get any simpler. No bolts, no nuts....

I am working on a 1/3.5 scale DG600 and need some advise on wing bolts and connection to the fuselage. I am having trouble deciding on the wing bolt. Should I choose a circular or rectangular bolt? And what materials is best suitable, steel or carbon (as the F3x type planes use). Anyone have any pros - cons they would like to share? I have also the option of making the wing bolt floating trough the fuse or to make it firm into a tube trough the fuse. I am most familiar with the firm connection from the F3x planes, but I know many scale ships use the floating bolt, and also many full-scale planes. What are the pros and cons? I hope that a discussion on this topic can help me decide upon the arrangement so I can go on building. ----- Regards Erik Wikran Tromso, Norway ------------------- RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
