Folding Wings on a Sonerai II

I see how the roots of the wing are held on the spar but I can't figure out
how the wings are held up in the rear.
My Sonerai has an eyelet under the fuselage. But what else do I need/ A
pipe? Hook? clamp?

Read about the procedure he
http://users.lmi.net/~ryoung/Sonerai/Towbar.html

I've somehow lost the picture of the "stock" tow bar, but that's what
attached to the cross tube at the bottom of the fuselage aft. The wing
securing tube was, at least on the IIL, in the middle of the fuselage aft.

Mine had sleeved holes in the wings and the same about mid way down the
fuselage about half way up. When you folded the wings back you would just
slide
a long (5/8th rod I think) shaft through all the holes and hold everything
together with hitch pins.
