Hi Surely the answer is to remove the rear WAF bolts and only leave the bottom main spar bolt in place, when removing the wing. This would prevent any unnecessary stresses. This string interests me as I am doing the wing roots as we speak. My added complication is that I am using a version of Ken Atkinson's pushrod controls which has the pushrod and bellcranks in the gap. So I have inset the foam rib on the outboard wings 2" outwards to give clearance. then I have tapered the top foam from the join back to the rib and am glassing the inside to give the overhang strength. (a bit like Larry's) Access to the top main WAF bolts remains a problem. I am thinking of cutting access holes and floxing in ally shelves with anchor nuts attached and fitting a 1/16" ally sheet flush inspection plate with countersunk screws for neatness. I can then put a similar, bigger inspection plate on the underneath. Any comments

If the wing pivots downwards on them they must align otherwise one or other will bind and strain the WAFs. John Martindale
