Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a wing connector system and methods of using same for folding of decoy wings during transport. The wing connector system includes a wing adapter for coupling to decoy wings, a motor shaft adapter for coupling to a motor shaft of the decoy, and a fastener for moveably coupling the wing adapter to the motor shaft adapter. When the fastener is rotated in a first direction, it restricts movement of the wing adapter relative to the motor shaft adapter, and when the fastener is rotated in a second direction, it allows movement of the wing adapter relative to the motor shaft adapter. When the wing adapter is extended from the motor shaft adapter, rotation is possible, allowing for the folding of attached decoy wings during transport. This folding allows transport to occur without damaging the decoy or requiring the disconnection of decoy wings.
