Aerotech 42% Extra wing fixing
Hi guys, i have recently bought a part build Aerotech 42% 300 mid wing Extra. On the plans and in the instruction book it doesn't show any fixings within the fusulage, just three large dowels that locate it in the correct position. On the pictures from the Aerotech website there looks like winged nuts on the front and back dowels. Does anybody have experiance of this, any clos up pictures that would help me out.
Thanks in advance Andy

Re: Aerotech 42% Extra wing fixing
What the plans refer to is putting body clip pins in 2 of the large dowls.
What I did on mine instead......we installed the dowls in the plane then cut them flush. I put 1 small dowl in the center to help with alignment. The end dowls I replaced with 1/4 x 20 bolts. The wings are then secured with nylon wingnuts.
