Take a part plane.

I want to make the wing in my Legacy removable and have never tried this so it's a little intimidating. I'm looking over Paul Walkers Impact plans and was hoping someone has some pics of how this process goes (or maybe another approach)?

Thanks,

James

The latest trend is to separate the wing into two pieces at the outside edges of the fuselage.
Tom Morris has a system for doing this that apparently works well. Also several of the Russian suppliers have hardware the works for this. One is Sergey Belko.
Jim Snelson has the Tom Morris stuff.
The one piece wings present problems for travel on the Airlines now. Regulations for most Airlines require smaller boxes.

These are the Ukranian design for take-a-part wings from alum alloy. Quite a strong setup and will stand all the loads of a big model being flown in strong wind.

The pic below is the big Yak by Pete Tindal from the UK. The model has foam wings and is powered by a Saito 56. Some of the in progress building of the model is in another post on SSW. Reports are all positive from Pete on the foam structure strength with this type of joiner.

I built my last dog per the original take-apart plans. It worked fine. Here are some pictures of an old Impact taken apart and mine put together. The last picture shows gear and pipe installation. I used the aft gear hold-down screws to attach the cowl.

Howard,

Thanks, thats a big help. Do you have any shots of inside the fuse (I guess it's called the wing saddle)?

James

Just the 3rd and 4th pictures above. There's a strip of 1/64" plywood lining the wing cutout on the fuselage. Put a fillet on the upper side. It's easier than it looks.

Would you tell me more about the double flaps on the orange model please. what was the hoped for outcome and how were they trimmed.

Here's a discussion on them: http://www.clstunt.com/htdocs/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=103&topic_id=291062&mesg_id=291062&listing_type=search . The original purpose was to relieve hinge moment on a big airplane, but I think they might help me fly more accurately in the wind. I'm not sure what you mean by trimming. I tried different gains and picked the one I liked.
