Brief Description:  Wing bolt retainers - Inboard

Ouch! Big gap in the build. I've been busy with Monday to Friday work, CFA stuff, personal stuff, and most of a week away at the Wings Over Illawarra airshow, which was an exhausting triumph. Really good to see people flood into an event, despite sub-optimum weather, after a long period without ANY such events. Good on yer Mark Bright!

Have decided to go ahead with the inboard wing attach bolt head retainers. Made near-duplicates of the outboard ones, a smidge shorter, with the nutplate hole in the same place in relation to the bolt head. Orienting with the bolt placed backwards into the bushing drill through the shear web, (crivens)...

Make 1" square hardpoints from 1/8 2024-T3, bevel the edges and drill the centres 3/16". Prep sand the shear web, prep the hardpoints and flox them into position, clamping with cleco, arranging excess flox in a surrounding fillet.
