Re: [RCSE] Supra #42 problem

[Marta Zavala]

Am I seeing that right?  The wing hold down nuts are simply attached to the bottom of that top cap that pulled off? No bulkhead or anything inside the pylon/fuse to hold the wing mount nuts in place??   If so I wouldnt put it back together the same way.  Id say do a bulkhead type arrangement like MD does in the Supras.  If you have the holdown bolt going thru the bottom of a thick round bukhead, to which the nut is attached at the bottom of, it wont be able to pull up thru the pylon, unless of course the pylon rips off!  Bring out the full on two man tows guys!!
