Hi every one



Just finished doing a full bolt on of my wings last week and when I drilled the rear spar bolt I realized that I can't get to the nut inside the wing.  My first thought was to open up the lower skin and maybe even fashion a cover plate with nut plates.  How have others gotten around this.  As as alternative what about using a nut plate of the correct size?  



thanks for any ideas

Dear GLJSOJ1 (just curious, what's your nickname? I surely can't pronounce your real name!)

 

   

 Your plans call for an opening in the bottom wing skin to get access.  The nut should be to the rear and visible so that it can be inspected with the flaps down as a part of every pre-flight inspection..

The bolt is inserted through the attachment plate and spar from the front of the wing.  The nut goes on the aft side of the spar.  The bolt can be inserted through a hole in the wing fwd of the spar and with the flaps extended, the nut attached to the bolt.  It is difficult.  According to 43-1 the bolt is always inserted so that the nut is toward the trailing end of the bolt.

Thanks for the replies.  No nick name, just letters from names combined.  I should be heading to the airport in the next few weeks, just got a few issues with the canopy and the engine to work out.

I  cut an access a hole through the fuselage side skin to install this  

bolt. The bolt should be inserted from the inside of the wing with the  

nut installed outside between the wing and the flap. This is for ease  

of inspection and for access with a torque wrench.
