This is a copy of the Mojo 60 removable wing build thread from the ProBro site from DsWright..

Got mine today, here is a sneek peak of the parts.

Looks awesome so far, going to make sure i fully understand how everything fits in my head before i start adding glue

The only thing that worries me is now there are 2 Addendums to keep track of. I will have to be careful.

This is going to be FUN!

Here are some sneek peaks at the parts.

The wrapping tube in sandpaper method turned out very well. the tube fits perfectly in the slots sanded for it and lines up great. I recommend that method to anyone doing it.

I also laminated the ply to the motor mount block and installed the tube at the same time, which made it easy with wieght and gorilla glue.

Im starting the wing now. Have the spars shaped and sandwiched, and now taking my time aligning the wing ribs, which is a little difficult because of the phenolic.

It's coming together though.

She is coming along well. I found it a bit difficult to get the wing tube in the ribs without cracking them or twisting them. took alot of patience and alot of fine sanding after adding the ply reinforcing rings to the ribs.

From here on out, the wing builds basically like any other mojo. Build it as one piece, then cut them apart after finishing.

Now i need to reinforce the antirotation pins with the supplied ply, then add my top and remaining spars.

This is a fun build.

Forgot to post more pics before i went to work.

The center and leading edge sheeting had a couple suprises hidden for me... I should have noticed but didn't until i already had the LE sheeting glued in place on one side of the wing. The front tabs for bolting the wing together can interfere with the sheeting process. I had to trim up with an exacto a slot where the tabs stuck out and reinforce the joint from behind. turned out ok, but not as good as i liked. I should have been paying attention.

Same thing with the center sheeting. I had to cut out and reinforce the spot at the TE of the wing where the tabs for bolting stick up and when you trim leave nothing to stick the sheeting to in that spot.

Easy fix though in both spots. just added a small piece of 1/4" stock under the spots for a solid mounting spot. Would have turned out better had i done a better test fitting before i stuck it on Then i could have contoured it to the space it needed to fill much better

will post more pics tonight. Wing is mostly finished. Gotta cut my hatches and finish a little cap stripping and it's ready to seperate, trim and cap the ends. will probably finish the wing tonight or tomarrow. then start the fuse.

Ok Wings are done.... Just need to sand for covering and cut hatches... will do that later.

On to the fuse.

Some fitting will be required here as again the tabs for the wing bolts are interfereing with the machined parts, but not that big of a deal. Just have to trim down the area behind the wing bolt mounts then drill it through again..... will provide pics of my solution.

This type of fuse has some bonuses over the standard Mojo.

it's all one piece and you can cover the fuse as 1 piece and hide the tube under the covering since it's all flush.

Much easier to cover.

Much easier to make repairs when the inevitable happens and it gets dorked.


Pmed pauly with a question i had. You can see in the pics how the fuse is built flat on the board.... but i don't see a way to add the Landing gear block for final assembly after everything is together.....

Anyway, here is how it's coming.

I will see how solid it is once i get it ready for final assembly. will probably be fine just cutting them off.

Will get most of the fuse layed out and pinned/glued tomarrow night if i can. Want to take my time on the area with the ply wing bolt mounts to make sure i do it better than i did on the wing. This time i can plan ahead instead of not paying attention to what im doing

Built Ailerons last night. Built the rudder as well.

I shortened the Ailerons on this one like i did on the 40 size as well. Just put the last stick in at 45 degrees, seemed to help my ailerons stay alive and not hang on the .40, so i did it here as well.

Otherwise they build just the same as any other Mojo Kit.

All i have left to do is cut hatches and finish building the Horizontal and Elevator. then final sand and cover. Easy build.

Going with the short counterbalances as well on the Horizontal and elevator.

Where does the throttle servo go on this one? I was thinking that you could still put it in the wing and disconnect the pushrod from the engine everytime you took it apart. How much total weight do you think that it'll add?


There are square cutouts in the ply by the motor for 1/4" square hardwood to mount the throttle servo on.

The problem with having it in the wing would be 3 things.

#1 it would be nearly impossible to access because of the Tube/Phenolic blocking the exit to the front of the wing. look at my pics of the wing before i sheeted to see what i mean.

#2 You would need to cut another hatch between the main spar and sub spar towards the front of the wing... and then have to find a solid place to mount it.

#3 You would have to reset your throltte linkage everytime to make sure it is correct before you could fly.


Mine is complete in bones now. Now i gotta final sand and start covering. I hope to get it covered this week so i have it ready for the Flying Giants flyin which is damn close to my house on the weekend of the 4th.

I have built both a regular (40 size) Mojo and this 60 with a wing tube. They both have the give and take for build difficulty.

Without removable wings...

You have to cover the whole wing at once, instead of doing them seperatly.
You have to make fuse/wing repairs with it all attatched to the plane.
You have to get your Motor mount and your wing lined up during final assembly.
You have to expoxy fillet the tube during final assembly and can't cover the tube as part of a single fuse. The fuse is 3 pieces.. top, bottom, motormount....

With removable many things jump out at me.
You have to pay a little bit more attention to the plans when you build. But any small snags i hit are in this thread, only a couple and very minor.
If you shatter a wing, you could just buy another wing for it (if he has wing ribs available, Have to ask swany) and rebuild new wings to attach without having to do anything else to it
You can also build the fuse as one solid piece... the tube is hidden under the covering and to me seems MUCH MUCH more solid that the normal wing build.
Covering is easier, because you do the fuse all at once instead of 3 different pieces, and you can do the wing 1/2's seperatly as well.
You do however need to block and space the wing properly when you build it. You still build the wing whole and then split it. How i did this is in the thread and it worked great for me. I have no Gaps at all.

This in addition to the Storage/transportation differences that should be obvious.

Im very happy with the wing kit. even more than I thought i would be above and beyond storage/transportation.

All I have covered so far is the base coating on the fuse. Will post pics later tonight. Will be Wed at least before i start the wings, I need my new iron and more covering to arrive.
