@Wildthing - you have to know where to look!
i was going to use a combination of epoxy/filler and some light glass in the corners. Honestly my first time doing this type of connection as well.@thenated0g - my fuse is getting filled and tickled up - the wings are getting covered now - the tail feathers are ready to fit once the fuse is tidy - I set the wing mounts so the MH32 is mostly parallel (as best I could) to the tail feather mounting plane - still need to make my ailerons (plan is to wire cut and cover with newsprint (file my DLG wing) - so making some good progress all things considered - given the wings are removable I need to plug their servos.
my question is - how will we be mounting the tail feathers to the fuse?
This should be cool@thenated0g - so as you know I had this idea to make the Ridge Rat with a pitcheron wing!
I will use the front wing mount, and add a new CF tube (purple) into the existing wing at the 30% wing mark - I have also added a 4mm pin (blue) to the existing front CF wing tube as the actuating lever
Tthe rotor mechanism will be 3D printed so all the links are quite chunky - the wing is mounded very low so I needed to add a link arms (light blue) to jump down to the wing lever from the (orange) driving arms
I also needed to order some chunky servos to handle the loads!

I don't see why not, to me it would depend at what cost mainly being weight of the setup.@Wildthing - but will it work!![]()
I am liking this can't wait to see it in action.@thenated0g - so as you know I had this idea to make the Ridge Rat with a pitcheron wing!

The rotor mechanism will be 3D printed so all the links are quite chunky - the wing is mounded very low so I needed to add a link arm (light blue) to jump down to the wing lever from the (orange) driving arms - the wing will move 15 deg in either direction.

Oh, it wasn't hard to visualize your set up. Like I said I think it's genius.@buzzbomb - I have ordered some old school servos (big fellas) that have 10kg of power - I just hope they will fit in the fuse!I think the aerobatic guys have lote of throw and do all kinds of tricks, but I will keep it simple!
here is how it should work
