need a good way to install wing bolt on Composite Roo. I dont want to put slots int the wing like Groupner. Send pix to Bob.Eckel@ unitedflying.org

put slots on the fuse....

or try to do it via the gear-holes. Should be no problem

I had to slot my fuse as well, and even at that, I had to rig a ball joint allen tool at an angle to get it as tight as possible without stripping anything. 7 Flights old without taking them off and all appears to be holding.

Ok guys...

Here is a simple solution that has work perfectly for me....

Take an allen wrench an cut the "L" off so you have a straight hex shaft that fits inside the head of an appropriate allen bolt your using to bolt the wing on. Silver solder the hex shaft into the head of the bolt, make sure it is straight. You can now install and tighten your wing bolt from the wheel well. A simple 1/4" drive socket wrench with the appropriate size socket is used to tighten the bolt by sliding it onto the hex shaft which will be at about the same location as your wheel (but above it). If you have any questions I can supply pictures....

I use a flexible extension from sears. Soldier the hex bit into end of it and put on a cordless screwdriver. Goes right in gear cut out.

I cut off a ball driver and JB weld to a leftover CF arrow shaft extension. Also was able to access thru the wheel well.

Had a few request pictures....
Here they are...
Bolt with allen wrench soldered to it...

and the bolt thru the fuse at the wheel well

Todd, is your's composite? On mine, the bolt hole is something like two inches aft of the wheel well.

No this is the older kit but it does not matter, you can make the wing bolt anywhere you want it to be. Just add anouther blind nut inside the wing....
