[NSRCA-discussion] Eclipse wing attachment

[Bob Wilson]

I just bought a used CA Models "Eclipse" with a YS 140, Hitori pipe etc.
I have a question about the wing attachment.
Each wing half slides onto the aluminum center tube and there is an incident
adjustment peg on the fuse that the trailing edge of each wing fits over.
The aluminum center tube is tapped for a 4-40 bolt about 8 inches out from
the fuse on both sides.  Once the wing halfs are slid onto the tube, theses
4-40 bolts are inserted through the top of the wing.

That's it!  Kind of a cheesey arrangement.

There is a hole in the fuse at the leading edge of the wing and a
corresponcding (plywood reinforced) hole in each wing half.  However, there
isn't any hardware associated with these attachment points.  I think
something is ovbviously missing and would appreciate it if anyone with
"Eclipse" experience could help me out.

Thanks,
Bob Wilson
