Wing hold down - falsifies

[Todd Schmidt]

Need a tool less way to attach wings?  I use a threaded end rod protruding
out of the wing root in the center of the airfoil.  Screw a Sullivan
spring-loaded ball joint on the end and clip them onto the balls  mounted on
the inside of the fuselage .  No stress on the fuselage sides, no need to
drill wholes in the tubes, best of all, no tools needed to attach your
wings. Simple, fast, positive!
