Attaching wings in a composite fuselage

[rtfm]

Hi guys,
I have a practical issue I'm hoping you can help me resolve.

The Razorback is a swept, mid-wing configuration. I was thinking of anchoring each wing as follows, using three anchor points:

1. Attach the end of the spar to a substantial central pillar which would run from top to bottom of the fuse.
2. Fix the spar securely as it passes through the side of the suitably reinforced fuse. Basically the spar would pass through a slot in the reinforced side of the fuse, and be clamped in position
3. Attaching the rear spar to the fuse (to a suitably bulkhead-reinforced attach point)

Removing the wing would be a matter of releasing the control cables, undoing the main attach bolt at the central pillar, and removing the rear spar attach fitting.

Does this sound like a sensible/simple arrangement? My aim is not to add to the mostly meaningless hype of "wings can be removed by a child in XXX minutes" which seems to be mandatory in all new aircraft ads. No-one enjoys removing/fitting wings, and most aircraft owners will avoid doing this if they can. I just want a simple, effective and safe way of fastening the wings to the airframe.

Regards,
Duncan
