Started working on the wings bolts. I'm using two 1/4" steel rods and two 1/4-20 threaded bolts for each wing and then added plywood supports to both the wing roots and inside the fuse that are Aero-Epoxied in place. I have one of the steel rod located at the forward LE. I used 1/4-20 threaded inserts on the wing root. I think it should be plenty strong enough. For the steel rods, I added brass tubing as a liner on the fuselage side so the steel rods slide in really nice. I had to cut out the small servo wire channel that 3W had to feed the wires through on the wings. just too small since I'll have nav-lights and will be running the air lines for the gear through it as well. I added some pictures. If anyone sees anything wrong or have suggestions please let me know. i just thought I'd start adding some build progress since there aren't many 3W build threads. Rob
