what is the best to use to hold the winglets on to the hull.i am going to use nylon bolts so they can break away if fliped.

If you're talking about the uprights or "verticals" I'm attaching a link to my gallery that shows how mine will attach. These are 1/8 aluminum w/ lightening holes drilled in them. I cut slots in the hull and used epoxy to attach to the bottom and top of the hull. My verticals are held on w/ nylon bolts and nuts.Vertical Brackets
 
thanks rich. its for my 1/10 scale twin wing budweiser im building.converting it for 45 mac.its the hydro and marine hull

Is that a sport 40 hull? Just curious. Also, Don Ferrette has some good pics of the construction of some of his 1/8 scales in his gallery. He shows the vertical mounting brackets as well.

Once you get the brackets mounted,drill the holes and tap them. And drill the holes on the inside of wings show the bolts wont show,you can even dye the bolts with rit dye for more effect..........Mikey
 
rich its for either electric or sport 40 but not legal for impba.i like the twin wing hull.the hull is at funedesignrc.com under hydro and marine.

there is not much room in the hull.i gotta build a custom radio box into the boat.
