RE: Sig Kadet LT-40 Kit wing attachment
I have an older LT40 ARF from back in the 90's
About 4 yrs ago I decided to make it a Tail dragger with bolt on wings
I removed the covering under the wing for the part that fits over the fuselage.
I made a plywood wedge for the front half of the wing with two 1/4" dowels protruding.
In the front bulkhead, F-2 I drilled to matching 1/4" holes for the two dowels
At the rear, I covered the bottom of the wing with a piece of 1/8" ply with hardwood shims to allow for the dihedral
There's already a plate in the rear that I added 1/4" ply under
I drilled down through the plywood doubler on top of the wing clearance holes for 1/4" wing bolts
The plywood in the fuselage was tapped 1/4-20 for the nylon wing bolts. I put thin CA in the hole and when dry re-tapped the hole
While I was at it I used the rear reinforcement to raise the trailing edge of the wing 1/4" to subdue the tendency of the plane to climb with increased power
