In the many threads I have been reading and checking out over the last few weeks, it seems that the original Bixler glider did have some issues with the wings separating, even to the point where some installed them permanently.
Looking specifically at the Bixler second generation, I noticed a lot of different fixes and setups by folks. From using magnets, to the usual screw at the bottom, or even the permanent attachment of the wings to the fuselage.
While I'd love to be able to dissasemble the wings for proper storage and transport on the model, I also do not want to have to experience some of the weird issues that have been reported.
From those who own the Bixler 2, what would you suggest are the best steps to set up the wing?
At this point all I know for sure is to replace the stock rod with a 6mm Carbon rod, for added strength and functionality.
Is the standard setup improved and good enough in the Bix 2?
Thanks for any links and comments.
