| Subject: | Re: Trial Wing Mounting... |
Matt,
I would recommend the hardware store bolt approach - the precision bolts
will be difficult to remove (impossible in the case of some of them on a
7A due to landing gear weldment). I think I used two per side of the
large variety - one top and one bottom. I don't have experience with the
8 install but just make sure you'll be able to get a punch on the back
end of the bolt to drive it back out - if access is better on one side
than the other I would orient the bolt to take advantage of this fact -
orientation doesn't matter until they go on for the last time....hope
this helps.
Regards,
Joe

without a hitch today. The hardware store bolts just slipped right in with
no problem. Highly recommend. I would say that they will be very useful in the
initial alignment prior to inserting the close-tolerance bolts too.
