Default RE: New Decathlons From Seagull 91 and 120 Size!

the pilot holes for the M4 bolts are inboard of the end of the wing tube so they don't appear to be intended as a stop for the wing tubes.
the only purpose I could see for them was too keep the wing from sliding out off the wing tube in the event of a failure of the 1/4 by 20 nylon bolts.
If there is an other purpose I would love to know.
As an added thought the wing struts would also aid in retaining a wing in case of a failure of the nylon bolts truly seams overkill to put in those ugly bolts down threw the wing.
