~Quick Wing Strut~

[rclud]

I'm building a Electric Piper Cub J-3 ll, Does someone have a suggestion to rework the wing struts to have a quick release from the wing and fuselage. I have 4 plane's to take to the failed, So i half to take the wing's off.. Not bolt on like the plans?



Thank you for your time..

Many including myself use the "Eyelet" bolts that the struts slide over and then you can turn the eyelet to secure them



these are round...the ones I have are more oval and very small.

somewhere on this forum are pictures of this Mod , Try this link

I use these eyebolts, but I put them into a vise first and then squish them slightly to make them oval enough to fit just right. I have never had anyt problems with them when installed, myself. Here are some photos of such mod. Hope they help.

I just used fishing swivels, screws them where struts normally would go, now more packing a screwdriver just to take your wing of your super cub!
