I replaced the provided strut screw with small screw eyes, the kind that are included with picture frame mounting hardware. (These would be the eyes that the picture frame wire is tied to.) They fit nicely into the existing screw holes on the battery box. The fuse end of the strut fits over the screw eye when the eye is turned perpendicular to the length of the fuse. After slipping the strut over the screw eye, give it a quarter turn to tight and the strut cannot come off. This set up has worked perfectly for 2 months. (These screw eyes are on their second fuse.) All I have to do is unscrew the eye a quarter turn and pull up on the fuse end of the strut and the wing is the free for removal. No tools needed and reinstallation is a snap.
