I should have been more explicit, I meant the nuts for the platesbolting the three peice wing onto the center section.Once the ply is on these important nuts cannot be tightened except byaccessing thru the root rib gap.Anchor nuts inside the D nose would permit this.Regards GrahamChecked by AVG. 28/03/2008 10:58 AM________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2008 00:55:34 -0700

MessageGraham:Although I may be misunderstanding, it looks like you are suggesting that the leading edge is a full D box which would prevent you from accessing any bolts/nuts that go through the spar, such as the wing attach fittings. The leading edge material, however, only goes from the nose of the ribs to the top of the spar, not all the way around, so any bolts/nuts are accessible from the bottom of the leading edge.Again, I could be misunderstanding your question.Gene ----- Original Message -----
