RE: Midwest Extra 300xs Build
Digger, Very nice thread and build, looking good.
I would like to just add about the bolt thing. I think plastic bolts will hold up just fine. Let me just suggest why I would use plastic bolts on wings and to hold the landing gears. Simply, If you happen to land hard and you have metal bolts, Your entire landing mount will rip right under you. If you use plastic bolts, Most of the time if you land hard the plastic screws will brake which is easily replaced. This has happened to me many times and the plastic screws saved my plane and landing gear mount and everything else that could have ripped off. Basically same thing with the wings. Something has to give, I rather have the plastic bolts which is easily and cheaply replaced. That’s just my 2cents.
