ABSTRACT:
A main wing positioning and release system particularly adapted for use with a toy or model aircraft, includes a wing positioning bracket upon the axial centerline of the aircraft, the bracket having projecting elements directed upwardly from the centerline of the aircraft. The system also includes a wing release mechanism including a lower portion press-fittably securable to the upwardly projecting elements of the positioning bracket to provide proper positioning of the release mechanism relative to the aircraft fuselage, a rear area of the lower portion including a press fittable receiving recess, an upper surface of the lower portion of the release mechanism proportioned for complemental engagement of a lower surface of the main wing. The wing release mechanism also includes an upper portion having upper and lower surfaces, the lower surface proportioned for complemental engagement of the top of the aircraft main wing, the upper portion including a press-fittable connection element complemental to the press-fittable receiving recess in which the recess and element are releasible from each other. A flexible normally openly biased hinge joins respective front edges of such lower and upper portions of the release mechanism from each other. Upon impact of the aircraft, as in a crash or emergency landing mode, the press fittable element and recess will separate from each other, releasing the main wing from the release mechanism without damage to the wing.
