<DIV>This has been my system for the past 7 years because I was too lazy to turn
the plane upside down. Never a problem.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Simple wing hold down </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>The last four planes have all relied on the $4000 bolt. The
latest has a <BR>great innovation. The bolts are on the top of the wing. I
always complained <BR>it is aesthetically unpleasing but pretty simple. Leave
the tube in one <BR>panel and the plane comes out of the car to have the wings
installed <BR>immediately. Plane gets carried in one piece to pits to be
fuelled. One bolt <BR>and I am ready to go fly. If I get nervous and need to
check it is right <BR>there in plain sight. Very quick when it rains
too!<BR><BR>Anthony<BR><BR><BR>>From: Rodney Tanner <<A

(PST)<BR>><BR>>I wondered when someone would mention those old friends.
. . .<BR>>I have used good ol hooks and rubber bands on my last three
pattern planes <BR>>and for the Tem-Poon (Typhoon fuz, Temptation wings and
stab) that will be <BR>>ready in a few weeks. Dennis Hunt put me onto them,
with the Extra and <BR>>Viper projects he did. As Bill says, its simple and
idiot proof (till now) <BR>>and does´nt create any unwanted stress
points. Some people stay away from <BR>>them because the rubber bands
cross in front of the wing tube, where the <BR>>tank sits. Sooooo put them
under the tank then!<BR>>Rodney<BR>>NSRCA #

<BR>>rubber bands wrapped around your prop and spinner. Not fool
proof but <BR>>pretty close
