Giallo, II" Subject: Re: RV7-List: 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.

The mounting went 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. > >Once the wings were on, I just had to put all the other stuff on the plane to get an idea of what it looked like.
