I tried doing a search, but nothing popped up. I’m trying to figure out the best way to deconstruct some models. My wife’s pretty set on moving out of the area and finding a good place for retirement, and I’m about ready, too. We’re going to just downsize and do a minimal move, getting rid of almost everything. I’m good with that, but I still want to take a bunch of planes with me, mostly profile. The question is how. I don’t have room to take them as built, so I figured I’d deconstruct them to the ARF stage. The tail surfaces are easy, a couple of minutes with a Zona saw and they’re free. I’m just trying to figure out the best way to get the wings out without doing major damage. The best that I can think of is drilling a small hole in the fuse at the wing leading and trailing edge, and using a flexible saw blade to cut the wing out. Then re-gluing them in place should be pretty easy.
Does anyone have experience with deconstructing their planes purposely?
