KR> KR2S Controls mounting to spar

Note how I had to mount the sticks entirely to the lower spar cap. If I 
could do it over again,
I'd add extra spruce blocks inside the spar on 8" centers for the job, and 
leave the caps alone.
That's what I did for the center stick, but that doesn't help me now.

I am planning the following and wanted to run it buy you for mounting my 
controls to middle of the spar. with no blocks pre-fitted to hold control 
when building.

I thought of using say 1 inch dowel, drilled in lathe to required mounting 
bolt size, then drill the spar webbing all the  way through as you would the 
WAF , then drill 1 inch hole in one side of spar webbing. insert the 1 inch 
dowel, epoxy in place, bolt it with cheap bolts till dry, then sand the 
dowel down flat with webbing, repeat in the other three bolt locations, then 
bolts are tighten trough the dowel and not squashing the webbing, taking the 
place of the spruce blocks.
I hope that make sense.

To me that would be very strong .

Sounds like a great plan to me.

You probably feel the same way, but I wouldn't use anything larger than #10 
aircraft bolts, maybe even #8's if high enough quality, but those may be 
hard to come by in that length.  I see a lot of huge bolts and thick 
aluminum holding some of these kinds of things together in some of the 
photos on the web, and it's just weight added to the bottom line.  Although 
I tried to be frugal with that kind of weight (especially), I will be much 
better on the next one!
