Thanks for following Hanno. but this project is on hold. Any idea how i can make the wings of B-29 removable? So i can store it easily?

Hanno Kleinecke
I can see your point, I would'nt even have the space to display a B 29. Could'nt you bore holes into the leading edge of both wings and the wingspars visible, so that you could use a brass or steel wire rod to lock the wings into position ? Just an Idea .......

Glenn
Maybe some of those small but very strong Neodymium magnets embedded into the mating surface of the fuselage and the wing would draw the wing to the fuselage? If the wing spar is a tight enough fit into the wing? I plan on using some to hold a Bell X-1 under my B-29 Mothership!

Hello Aris, interesting project. I would do it like Hanno it has proposed. 👍

Aris Grey
Hello berni, thanks.
Glenn where i can find those magnets? Ebay maybe?
Hanno do mean something like that on photos 9 to 10? (uploaded some photos 6 to 10)

Hanno Kleinecke
Initially I thought of the other direction, but yes, as the wingspars seem to go very loose into the wing, I would do it like you showed in pic no.10

Glenn
You might get the magnets on Ebay. I've brought packs of them at those cheap $2 shops we have in australia. 8 small 6mm magents for about $2.80 I think if you use 2 metal wing spars plus the magnets they would hold it together quite well, as long as it is a tight fit and doesn't sag.

Roberto Rocat
Interesting! I'm in 👍

Aris Grey
🙂 thanks i will try with two metal wing spars first and then if they go lose, i will try adding the magnets. Hi Roberto thanks for tuning in.
