| Subject: | Wing Atttach bolts |
Where has every one gone to for information??
I am doing my conditional on 601 XL B ( 2007 Model ) and found the right upper
outboard wing attach bolt took 90 drgrees to tighten to 125 in./ lbs.
I have found one or two needed 45 to 60 deg. to meet the torque requirements several
years before but this year only the one was needing re-torqued.
Has anyone experienced this??
Is there a more active list for maintenance information.
I would appreciate a heads up.
Thanks.

I'm still here and have a similar model plane. I don't recall torquing
the attach bolts. I just felt them and they were tight. Remember the
only real load on those bolts is in shear on the bolt shaft rather than
tension on the nuts.
I had difficulty drilling the holes for those bolts so I wound up using
larger diameter bolts. My situation may be different from yours.
Perhaps you should put some medium (blue) loctite on those bolts to keep
the nuts in place?
