FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10">Bob Jones, a New Jersey pattern oldtimer ,
invented this almost 30 years ago now, as a means to quickly snap on or off
his one piece wing of the day . The principle is the same. <BR><BR>It was
clean and simple method of attaching the wing without "screwy bolts or gummy
rubber bands" as Bob used to say. He eventually had the spring loaded devices
made from aluminum; very robust and functional and I used the concept in many
applications. At his first Toledo show, Bob had a package of these "lifted"
from his table by another prominent pattern flier of the day, who eventually
went on to become AMA pres. Who would have thunk it. FWIW to ya<BR><BR>Matt

glued to the wing panel and <BR>squeezes and "pops" open when inserted
through the fuselage sides. <BR>Then you have to squeeze it to release
the wing to go home. That way <BR>if there is no gap between the wing and
fuse, you know its clipped on. <BR>plus there's no extra hardware to keep
track of. I'll let any body <BR>build and sell these for a slight
