Default RE: Pheonix Extra 330S 60-90 Size

Nolefan61- per your request: Pictures of my Lockwire setupfor the wing bolts. First pic shows the holes in the wing bolt tabs. I just leave the wire attached to one bolt.
The wire is shown installed in the next pic, running over the wing tube to the front bolt. I put a hole in each tab so that there's always one on the right side.
Be sure and choose the hole that would make the wire have to get longer to let the bolt unscrew. There's a fancy way to do this... but I just twist it a couple of times. OK to have 1/4" of slack- picture the bolt trying to unscrew.
Note on the Right hand side the extra balsa added for Landing gear load distribution- one piece of aileron stock, thick side forward, on the bottom plate of the fuse. Two 1/4" sticks each side shaved to fit the fuse sides at the joints.
Just a little extra support to absorb and distribute shock loads during my "less than perfect" landings!
