Fabrizio, I had done some testing on plastic bolts some time back, taking the bolts to failure. A single 1/4" plastic bolt fails at approximately 130 lbs force. A wing panel will practically never place that kind of load on its mounting bolt so yo will be safe. I use smaller nylon bolts to secure my panels to the fuse and have experienced no problems

Hello to all,
I'm currently in the process of finishing my CA Eclipse, and need an advice with respect to retaining the wings to the fuselage (model has wing tube and 2 wings halves). I understand most people put 2 "butterfly"-type bolts per wing half, I'd like to go with only one nylon screw and bolt. Would this work? Any experience?
Regards,
