The inner nacelles are rugged, the outer nacelles are pinned by a 10-32 machine screw with a stainless wing nut, you can see in this picture.

The winter extensions are pinned by a 10-32 machine screw, only the edges are sealed with blue masking tape.


I like it like this, in the event of a sideswipe the masking tape will rip loose, but the pin will hold it together. It’s not perfect, but it’s also a DIY project that anyone can modify if they think they can do it better.
