Has anyone done, or seen, a profile take-apart wing setup? I have some ideas but would rather use someones tried and true design if available. ;-) ... TIA

I saw a really neat one recently.
The fuselage was a thick profile, perhaps 1 inch thick, but it was still a profile. The wing spar of one of the two wing halves was bound/glued/stuck to a carbon tube - again about 1 inch diameter, which passed through the fuselage (via a fibreglass tube) to the other wing half, which used a fibreglass tube to slip over the main carbon tube. A smaller diameter carbon rod was used at the rear of the wing halves through the fuselage.
The ensemble was secured using a single bolt, tapped into the main carbon tube. There were also small flanges on the rear of the fuselage to aid alignment.
Very nice constuction, simple and it flew very well.

Use Tom Morris take apart system. It is easy to use.

Rudy I hope this works

You might consider a one piece wing, bolted on from the bottom? Pat King has a Ringmaster trainer with a wing rubber banded to the fuselage, but you could modify the idea.

Clever Brazilian electric profile. One may not want to try this with an internal-combustion-engine-powered profile.

Actually, it is an interesting idea. Just make the connecting parts more robust and hang a 60 on it. I still prefer the plan of bolting the wing to the bottom of the fuselage, just have to quit talking and actually do it.
