Hey guys, I'm thinking of embarking on my first scratchbuild that doesn't involve plans or a detailed instructional video. I'm going to make the Burnelli UB-14
Anyway, I'm trying to work out how i'm going to attach the wings to the fuselage. As the fuselage has a large wing cross section I'm thinking of making the wing in the 2 halves, and join it together with a carbon arrow shaft with a space wide enough for the fuselage, so i can just drop it into the fuselage. and lower a foam flap over the top of the fuselage to continue with the body's aerofoil shape. I'm not sure if this is the ideal way to go about it. also, not sure how i'll go about attaching the wing either. as the carbon arrow shaft will be inside the plane it'll be hard to mount with rubber bands or something like that.
Do any of you have any ideas on how i could go about this mammoth project?

Edit: I'm thinking of making this with about a 1 metre wingspan
