I've been slaving away in my own little bubble long enough - it's time for another set of eyes to look at my wings before I go any further! Does anyone know of an EAA technical counselor/advisor or someone with similar credentials that operates out of the Hayward CA (HWD) airport? There are several in NorCal listed on the EAA website but I don't see anyone specifically in HWD and I don' t want to impose. I had hoped to connect with the Livermore EAA chapter, but I work Thursday nights and cannot attend their meetings... Thanks so much for your recommendations. Regards - Ford ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:03:43 PM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: RV-List: Rear Spar Bolt Dear Listers, I've got two questions regarding the bolt for the rear spar on the RV-8. How come the rear spar is attached with a castle nut and cotter pin instead of an aeronut? The plans call for "three" washers, but where does the third one go? What torque is appropriate for this bolt? The castle nut implies it shouldn't be tight. Thanks!

I think that many will agree that he is the best EAA tech advisor we have at LVK, and he's the guy you want. N1GV (RV-6A Flying 924TTAE Silicon Valley, CA) In a message dated 7/5/2009 10:14:18 A.M.

The rear spar is considered a pinned joint. With a single bolt there is the possibility of rotation, no matter how slight - hence the castle nut. Torque it to the range for the bolt size. If it won't align within the range try another nut or back it down to align the cotter pin. The extra washer is probably to align the castellations with the hole.
