Default RE: Midwest Extra 300xs Build

Hello again
I'm not to worried about the 1/4 inch hold down plates being tapped and hardened, but I am concerned about the plastic bolts .I know they say they wont come loose as easy but they will sheer off doing violent maneuvers much easier than steel bolts will.I have popped the heads on several smaller planes, just was lucky I still had one holding things in place .Watching a wing float down has to be one of the most gut wrenching feelings in the book,even though as a rule it sustains minor damage a person knows what the scud missile that once was your plane is going to be in a matter of seconds .HEADS UP IN COMING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW Great thread and a very nice build.
