Are builders using tabs that go across top of spars? If so, are cutouts made in the leading edge ply to access the nut,bolt,screw that would be used? Are straps being used? I think i'm leaning this way, having the strap go around both spars and tighten the two ends on the aft side of the aft spar. what do you think, any better ideas to consider? pics would be great also.
