Sketch of New DB sport & Scale wing retaining system.

 This new system recently designed by us, has dramatically improved the retention of wings on model aircraft. The system was primarily designed to overcome wing movement problems on our Auster kit, we are also using this very simple unit in the Piper Cub & many other aircraft. These aircraft will include our quarter scale range of biplanes, enabling wings to be easier transported and much faster rigging & de-rigging at the flying site.

These photo's below show the installation of the system in a typical wing.

For practical reasons, the wing shown here is our portable demonstration version.

In the above view, the 8g wing retaining wires can be clearly seen entering the wing root, through the blocks and then the clips. The wing is shown here not fully pushed home to give an accurate insight of the application.

The wing can only be removed from the wires by applying gentle pressure to the clip triggers in the direction of the arrows. This system is excellent as just a retainer to the fuselage along with an existing main wingload joiner as in large sailplanes.

 There are many advantages to this system; the first is speed of operation, just simply plug on the wing and it stays there. No bolts, no tape, no collets, no wing movement (it stays against the fuselage) rigging done in 10% of the normal time. The wing can only be released by gently easing the clip trigger in order to slide off from the wire. (see photo's)

We supply this system in pairs comprising the following:-

2 spring steel clips, 2 guide blocks, 4 screws for clips, installation instructions.

£2.00 + p&p

 
The minimum wing root depth that this unit can be fitted to is 3/4" (20mm). The excess trigger length is then cut off as required.
