With the high angle of the front bolts in relation to the plate in the top of the fuselage some starter threads might help get the "screwing" started. Of course make sure you have enough length. This helps even on bolts not having an angled start.
Larry, thanks for the excellent tip. I'll do that.
I've also done a little experimenting with converting the bolt heads from slotted to hex - when I get some more bolts and get the method refined I'll update the post.
