Thank you Sir, most kind.

Hi Carlos,

Quick question. What were those protruding hooks on the wing tip pods called and used for?

Thanks.

I had to look it up. Apparently they are some sort of valve/inlet cover handles, and are removed before flight. I thought they might be something to assist with deck handling, but I guess not.

That’s great Carlos. The person who bought it wanted to know. New wheelchair bearings were bought with the proceeds. The buyer appreciated your help with the build.

Thank you Sir.

You’re quite welcome! Glad to hear that the buyer likes it.
