sorry or the late pic because I need to find out why one of the wing is stable and one is very easy to come off.

Let start for the wing modification STEP BY STEP

1) take out all the parts inside the wing engine. Use the following parts

98B0BE2A-B75C-4993-BF8B-8CFAFD86AB47_zps2gsnh7et.jpg

And do like this

01E9B25F-A5D3-4E7B-BFF3-62B8BCA9E43C_zpse6lsdh3u.jpg

And put it inside

F8BD7DDA-0305-4C78-B096-5B896E8A6015_zpsse2apzyu.jpg

after I took those photo, I find that I have another parts can make it more stable, I Change the two 2x1 brick to one 4x1 black colour long brick, like this

D5D4132B-24FD-4801-92FC-00500E03C068_zpsuhtrlodb.jpg

Also l find a grey colour 1x4 brick for the other side, like this

After you finish the modification of the inside structure, you can put the wing on , like this, yes, did you see the grey colour 2x2 inter lock?

After that, You can design your no down side up wing by you own idea.

This is brilliant. Thanks for sharing this great MOD. For the insane price of the set, TLG should have made it much better, like this. :thumbup:

Yes, about the rubber band make the gap between front engine, change the long axle to pin can improve a little.

Except the downside up of the lower wing. The orange colour in the front view of the upper wing is my another concern.

Some ppl ask me is that wing stable or not?

If the inter lock of another parts are strong, the wings are very stable.

Is that stable, because all the wing holds up only with 2 plates 2x2?
