The previous owner was going to use rubber band to hold the wing on, but he has the mounting spots for bolts, any tips for tapping wood for the nylon wing bolts?
As long as the wing has the reinforcement inside for the bolts, you should be fine. As far as tapping goes, make sure you drill the right size hole first. If you aren't sure, get one of these tap & drill sets:

Be sure to run the tap through the wood slowly and harden the threads with thin CA when you are done. I like to run the tap through and add the CA at least twice for nice clean, strong threads.
When he cut out for the hinges he mad the openings very large, the ca type of hings very very easily slide into the openings, should I replace with some other type of hinges like pin hinge?
It sounds like he planned on some other kind of hinge rather than the CA type. Something like one of these may work:

One more question, I am going to do my first covering job in more then 18 years (long break) do I need more then 1 6' role for a 40 size plane for the main covering
You will need two rolls minimum simply because you will want more than one color. You need to do something to differentiate the top of the plane from the bottom. You may even end up buying three rolls depending on how carefully you cut it and how many mistakes you make.
