If you're building one of

If you're building one of Matt's 688i's then you could use the bow planes as the fastener. Epoxy a brass tube through the lower hull where the bow planes attach. Run the brass bow planes' connecting rod through the upper hull, through the tube, and out the other side of the upper hull. Stick the planes on the rod ends, friction will hold them in place. Your upper hull will stay securely attached to the lower. I use this myself and it works great.
