Mark's original Supra pod and hold-down design can be found in this PDF:
http://www.charlesriverrc.org/articles/supra/all%20PDFs/supra_fuse.pdf
The fore bolt goes down into a 1/2" ply bulkhead, and the aft bolt
appears to be in the pylon itself.
Though, immediately upon reading this, I thought of the way the wing
bolts onto an XP-4 DLG, since it's pod is very "Supra-esque". Take a
look here:

Supra Enthusiasts,
Check out the latest failure mode shown on my web site
(www.hilaunch.com <http://www.hilaunch.com>) under photos. The
beginning of the problem showed at Phoenix when the rear of the CF cap
that holds the wing attachment nuts came loose. I applied a generous
amount of epoxy, but that repair did not solve the problem. On a
landing yesterday, the entire wing with the hold down bolts popped
from the fuse. Fortunately the landing had been completed and there
was no additional damage.
If you have a good idea about how to repair this problem, send me
an email.
