Default RE: Venus II

I'm 100 percent sure the bolts are in the threads correctly, and their is significant torque applied to the wing bolts, just shy of stripping, I'm very confident of that as well.

You'd have to see what I'm talking about in person. Maybe I'll shoot a video and post it here. It's not rocking up and down to the point most people would even notice it. It's something you can see from the vibration of the plane when running. The wing has no mounting plate on the bottom of my wing, as shown in the manual, unless it's recessed under the covering and I cannot see it. Like I say, there's a gap between the bottom of the wing and the mounting holes, and that doesn't seem right. The assembly manual shows something that looks like a mounting plate that would fit in this gap, but I'm probably interpretting it incorrectly. Nonetheless, the wing does move IF you apply slight pressure at the wing tips fore and aft. I wish I knew how to eliminate it. It would seem a couple dowels in the wing bottom and through the fuse would 'lock' the wing in place so it couldn't be pushed to move at the wing tips.
