 
BVM C/F "C" Channel
Proper technique to
retain the wings
|
Discussion: The "C" Channel is
injection molded of 30% Carbon Fiber filled nylon. BVM Jets uses
this convenient accessory to retain the wings to the fuselage
mounted formers on BVM Jets such as the
MiG-15, Bandit MKII, and
EBandit. A 6-32 Heli Coil is inserted into one end of the
"C" Channel. When properly installed and operated by the
modeler, these parts last the lifetime of the model. |
| Once the "C" Channel is mounted to the fuse former
with (4) 4-40 SHCS, attach the wings to the fuse and
hold them in position while snugging the 6-32 set screw
just enough to mark (indent) the top edge of the Blade
Spar. |

Remove the wing, then use a PermaGrit square file to
make a 1/8" wide by .040"-.050" deep notch in the top of the blade
spar where marked. |
| |
|
|
The wing is now properly held from slipping outboard
when the screw shank is seated in the notch.
Adjust the notch width as necessary for a good
wing-to-fuse mating.
Now, only a light snugging of the set screw is necessary
to safely retain the wings. This system has worked well
for 25 years on BVM Jets. |
