Keh-Bing Sheng

A model airplane may include a fuselage, a wing rib removably attached at a top portion of the fuselage, and a wing having two wing sections. Each of the two wing sections may include an opening at an exterior end. The model airplane may also include a connecting member removably coupled with the fuselage alternatively either at the wing rib or at a side portion of the fuselage. The connecting member may be removably inserted into the opening of a wing section to couple the wing section with the fuselage. The connecting member may include a ferromagnetic material which is magnetically attracted to a ferromagnetic material included at an end of the opening within the wing section when the connecting member is inserted into the opening to couple the wing section with the fuselage.

Method and apparatus for wing mounting for a model airplane

A mechanism for attaching a wing to a fuselage of a model airplane. The mechanism includes a mounting base, a wing bolt, a retaining device that holds the wing bolt in the mounting base, and a flexible support member positioned between the retaining device and the mounting base. A wing assembly for a model airplane is also disclosed. The wing assembly includes a first and second wing section and a wing rib for connecting the two sections. A means for connecting a wing assembly to a model airplane is also disclosed.

Wing-attachment mechanism for a model airplane

An empennage assembly for a model aircraft. The empennage assembly includes a fuselage having a bottom portion with an opening and a housing positioned in the opening in the bottom portion of the fuselage. The housing has a first end defining an opening and a second end. A rod extends from an underside of a vertical stabilizer, and a horizontal stabilizer having a hole is aligned with the opening in the bottom portion of the fuselage, the housing and the rod, whereby the rod is positioned within the opening in the first end of the housing to secure the vertical and horizontal stabilizers to the fuselage. A method and device for attaching an empennage assembly to a model aircraft are also disclosed.
