Bobby I forgot to install tie downs when I glassed my wings so I made some from 1" X1/8" steel flats that fit on the wing attach bolts. They are long enough that they go over the top and bottom main attach bolts and hang out the bottom about 1-1/2". I had to put them in a vice and twist them a 1/4 turn so they wouldn't be catching air. ----- Original Message ----- From: "bobby burington" <[email protected]> To: "KRnet" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 11:07 PM Subject: KR> Wing tie downs

I would like to install tie downs somewhere in the outer wing sections and I have found and read about a half dozen entries on the KRnet about doing this, but most didn't sound to reasonable and kinda sketchy about how they were done. So if there is anyone who has done this in a way that works well and looks good and won't slow down the plane I shure would like to know how you made em. > > Thanks > Robert > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?
