apoormarksman I discovered that my decal had peeled back from the paper backing and stuck to the inside of the polythene wrapper. About 15cms of a wing decal has become badly crumpled and also stuck to itself that I will not be able to recover it for use.

apoormarksman UPDATE My mistake, there ARE SCREWS to tighten clamp onto a handlebar, not nut and bolt type.

apoormarksman This may help. Cover the lower wing surface with clear 50mm parcel tape after the rods have been stuck in. Start at back, giving the next strips a 5mm overlap and wrap the leading edge. Cut away tape at ailerons and where stiffeners are to be glued, do not cut/damage wing. Glue the stiffeners, then tape the top surfaces and finally wrap leading edge (so,m that wind does not pick it up). Tape is very light and very rigid. Combat planes use at least one strip of glass fibre reinforced tape but you will only be able to use gf tape on top surface because lower wing has those stiffeners. See Armin wing build on Ed O'Bierne's wonderful 'Experimental Airlines' site for tape technique .

The slack there, the limited steering lock and slop in all the joints took me back to my youth and nursing a 1951 80" Land Rover ..
