A few years ago I converted an Ugly Stik to use bolts instead of bands. It was actually a lot more work than I thought it would be, but it came out OK. It was a 60 size plane so I felt the wing needed extra reinforcing. The hardest part was getting the wing dowel aligned with a hole in the bulkhead. I did it by drilling a small hole in the wing leading edge, inserting a piece of pencil lead, and using that to make a mark on the bulkhead. I used a wing bolt kit made by Du-bro. It included the bolts and two plastic pre-threaded blocks that could be bolted to the fuselage sides. Was it worth the effort? I guess...

Well, anyway you all have to look at the drawing I worked so hard on...
