Viper wing bolt mods?
 

What is the prefered wing bolts on the Viper? I've thought about using 1/4" blind nuts, or glueing a 1/4" plywood under the wing block, and drilling and tapping for 1/4", since the holes are a little big to tap, or using the stock metal bolts, and puitting something on the threads to help lock them. Other than a throttle servo, mine's almost ready, I just wanted to make sure what the latest opinion on the wing mounting....

Mine work just fine box stock through a few races and lots of practice. But that's TT40 racing Nelson racing might be a different story.

Do not tap holes in plywood, the threads will not last. Glue a maple block under the existing plate and tap into that. I use 10-24 flat head metal screws. It is not the screws that hold the wing on. It is the styrofoam glued to the block in the wing that holds the wing on.
