Carden 35% Extra Wing Retaining Pins?????
I recently purchased a used 35% Carden Extra and was told by the seller that the wing was held in place by a pin put through the front locating dowel, inside the fuse and a screw in the underside of the wing into the wing tube. I see the dowels have a hole in them. This is my first Carden and I'm not sure what type of pins they are suppose to be.
Could someone explain or better yet show me a photo of the retaining pins in a Carden Extra?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marty

Carden 35% Extra Wing Retaining Pins?????
I'm not sure on the wing retaining system for Carden but pins thru the anti-rotation dowels are usually just for added safety in case the retaining bolts fail. Small hair pin clips like those used to hold lexan bodies on R/C cars work fine.
