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 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? Paul Camas, WA N773PM finished phase I flight test.
