An possible option. fit a alu bracket made from 1.2-1.6 alu angel in one end and a tee or blind nut on a ply support in the other end
attached some pdf files as it was done on my Nimbus glider, I used M4 socket head bolts that are permanent in the t-nut, with a small hole in the ply plaking for access with the allan key. On the Ikarus one bracket per joint will do. The Nimbus has twoper wing because of its size
the access hole can be on top or bottom of the wing.
attached some pdf files to make it all clear, see fuse drawing section F-F for the t-nut arrangement. On the M4 bolts a large diameter washer takes care of sufficient contact area. because it is a glider no locking of bolts is required due to lack of engine vibration.
Internal elastic bands on hooks is also an option but a bit difficult to fit on the field
I hope this helps
