The pre-drilled tie down point in the main wing looks to be to low down.
If you use the pre drilled holes the bottom of the tie down ring will be inside
the wing sheeting. Is this the way every one has done it or have you moved it
out one hole.

I ran into the same problem. I just moved it down one hole and put an L angle
doubler behind the rib inline with the tie down holes to make up for the lost
rivet.

I don't see the problem with where it is located. All ya do with it is thread
a rope through to attach it to the earth. I would leave it alone or call Zenith
for an explanation.

| Subject: | 1st Solo Today in N5SL |
Today, June 16, 2008 at 11:10AM CST my instructor signed me off for my first solo.
N5SL and I left the earth in a great leap and climbed to pattern altitude
in record time. I turned crosswind, downwind, then base and final and brought
us back to earth for a truly memorable occasion. What a ride! I did several
more before I had to lock her up and get off to work for at least part of the
day.
She flies a lot faster and climbs like crazy with just my 170 lbs. I can't wait
to get to the airport tomorrow and practice some more. One of the notoriously
shy hangar dwellers walked over and told me how good he thought my engine sounded.
He didn't even notice I was flying alone for the first time! My daughters
got my t-shirt and colored it up with sharpies and I treasure it. Thinking
of making a frame of some kind. What a great day!
