Before or after applying the deck cloth wingskin covering? Eric - in Michigan From: "john" Subject: Tailwind-List: wings --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "john" Jim; What size holes are you putting in the bottom of the wings to install the nuts that hold the flap and aileron attach bolts in place? It looks like I should locate these before I attach the upper wing plywood. I have epoxyed the washers in place as you suggested. Thankyou JohnD. --------------------------------- ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:51:03 PM PST US From: "john" Subject: Re: Tailwind-List: Re:wings --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "john" Eric; I'm going to put the location holes in before I install the top skin, it will be alot easier to locate them.. It appears it will take a minimum of a 3/4" hole, so I am thinking to go 7/16th ahead of the rearmost spar and drill a 1/8 location hole from the inside out, than drill the final hole from the outside. On fabric you can always use a hot tubing the size of the hole needed in the fabric, after the fabric is on, this keeps the fabric from fraying.

Made a pilot hole from the top as John suggested, used a 1 1/4 inch spade drill from the outside and drilled just 1/16 in deep. Then used a 1 inch spade drill to drill through. The result is a 1 inch hole with a 1/8 inch shoulder to support the disc. (I'm going to use polished aluminum). I also glued a 3/32 patch over the inside before using the spade drills.
