Onex wing

Postby johnnn » Sat Apr 04, 2015 9:47 am

I see no locking provision for the wing in the up position. Has anybody experienced the raised wing falling by its own weight and what damage it does?

Check in the optional revision log ,1st item where you will find a locking mechanism.

The wing support/locks are very important. The wind will blow the wing down if it's on the wrong side. Make one for the main spar and the rear spar. It you move/taxi the plane with just the main spar lock the wing is not supported fore and aft.
