Right now I use 2-56 hex head screws with blindnuts inside the fuselage. I epoxied the blindnuts in so they won't pop out everytime I install the belly pan.
Sounds like you got the right idea here gary. Sounds like you eliminated a problem before it could become a problem. Wished I had done the same.

This way I can use my 2-56 ballend hex driver. Much faster than screws and holes won't wear out. I'll post a few pics later tonight of this mod as well as the mod I did to hold the trailing edge of the wing to the fuselage side.

Later.
I have just 2 extremely brief flights on mine, and the gap at the Trailing edge kind of concerned me before flying. The 2 brief flights were without incident, but it don't seem like a whole lot of dowl holdin on the wing back there. The only thing that bothers me about drawing it in is I wander what it will do to the handling of the Plane. Maybe it won't hurt anything, but to draw it in each side 1/8"-1/4" it will change the Horizontal Plane Angle of the wings some.
