I am still trying to find drawings or photos of a bracket system to support the wings of my M3X when folded. Any ideas?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

This is what I use as a dolly or wing fold bracket for use in my trailer. It might be over kill for what you want but check it out. Note! The picture was taken before I fully covered it with carpet so it would show how it is made.

Since I fold/unfold with every flight, I built a wing support dolly that would hold the wings above the tail wires to eliminate the need for folding/unfolding that part for each flight. Attached are some photos.

Boy, that's high!
If I can get (or afford!) hangar space for my US, I was thinking of making
a dolly that holds the wings *outside* the unfolded tail. Would use a bit
more floor space but not be so high.

Dana,
Either way saves several minutes from the folding/unfolding process, which is important if it is done every flight. Since I have plenty of unused overhead space and limited lateral space with the other airplane in the hangar, I went up instead of out.

Thom Good idea I spent several years folding and unfolding my KXP and the most time consuming and the most chance of an assembly error was in the tail and especially the botom cables so I can see the advantage to your method ! Chris
