Default RE: Getting close to finishing, Two more questions


ORIGINAL: Scratchie

I'm building my first RC plane (BUSA Smoothie) and am nearly finished. Before I cover it I decided to check out a few things, the first being how the wing mounts to the fuselage. The kit has two nylon bolts going through the TE into a 1/4'' hardwood peice. I used thin CA to strengthen the threads, but I'm wondering about using some type of blind nut. Additonally, the head of the bolts dig into the TE a little bit when tightening, should I use a metal washer to prevent this?
Would appreciate it if you could post some pics. I'm thinking about building this plane...it's absolutely beautiful!! Did you run into any problems or have to make any modifications? Thanks.
