While I was thinking about where to put my forward wing bolts, I checked the length of the bolt against the thickness of the wing at my first chosen position.





Nope, that's not going to work! I didn't find any 1/4"-20 nylon bolts longer than 2-1/2". Ergo, the location of the forward bolts has to change... so I put the dowels back in the fuselage, banded the wing on and marked holes in my new location.







Holes drilled.







Anti crush sleeves epoxied in. They will be cut flush to the surface of the wing.
