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!

Matt,

I asked Vans that same question.- They said that it should be tight and t
orqued to the normal torque value for that size bolt.- No real answer for
why it uses a castle nut instead of a self locking nut.-
