I was not aware that anyone was using a thru bolt and spacer . I have built three KR's and several other planes the old way and now I am designing my own plane using some of the KR technology but wish to change all those things that have nagged me for the past 30 years. I live in North Eastern Vermont (NE USA)and the weather and lack of hanger space had me taking wings off more than I cared to do. I am determined that my latest project will have folding wings that take only minutes to fold.
