Hi Laurie, appreciate the list you are starting, here's one to add post-assembly that I mentioned to Rob last week. This failure, not caught, would have had me flying with only one wing secured, even though the safety pin appeared properly inserted and clipped...
After mounting wings and clipping the safety pin into its spring clip on the left seatback, be sure to peer through the right side bolt handle slot with a flashlight and ensure that you can see the tip of the safety pin protruding through the right side bolt housing. While the safety pin may appear to have been properly inserted when it is at rest under its spring tab, my Dimona (s.n. 3506) disbonded the copper carrier tube inside the keel that connects right and left main bolt housings, and allowed the safety pin to slide UNDER the right side bolt rather than THROUGH it. Access to this carrier tube is through the right hand side keel plate, and will be awkward for me to repair, though it can be seen clearly with an inspection mirror and bright light. The carrier tube is bonded at both sides, and the bonded area is small. Please also note that the length and bend of the safety pin affect the amount of pin protruding into the right bolt housing. See the drawing in SB 24 to get a technical picture of what you're looking for... http://support.diamond-air.at/h36_sb+M52087573ab0.html Tom
