I should have held out for this then I could fly motorised full house gliders with it.

HXT900 servos, and an un-eventful maiden
Got my Ahi in the air, and of course I liked it! Tried an outside loop right away, and it worked (ok, a very small one
![]() In the front I enlarged the servo cutouts to fit HXT900, those work fine (and they are very cheap), in the wings I use 6g Corona DS633BP servos from HK (because they fit perfectly), should they turn out inadequate I will enlarge the servo pockets in size and depth and put HXT900s in as well. 1s lipo. No great flying, but fun for sure even for an average pilot like myself - hope to improve my skills with the Ahi

I assume the carbon tube is tapped for the screw. One thing you could do would be to take a small piece of wood (say 1/4" square) and tap it for the same size screw used in the wing. Then make a small cutout in the wing, corresponding where the set screw goes, and glue the block in place. That way you can still just use the set screw to attach the wing just like before.

I don't think the screw penetrates the joiner tube Brett. A hard "landing" can cause the wings to slide out even when the screw is snugged down tight. The screw seems a little behind the tube....I'm picturing maybe some sort of clamp that encircles the joiner tube. Maybe something similar to this one-screw wire

Good plan mopetista with those servos, and congrats on the nice flying maiden.
Great seeing more Ahi's join the fun. |

If you stripped the wing spar hold plastic clamp, you may use CA to fill the screw hole so it will accept your screw; or use a slightly bigger screw to engage the tap. This type of wing spar mount is friction-fitted.
