Brief Description:  Forward Fuselage Bolts

Installed the first bolts. The first two went in fine and then the next two broke off. I thought that was really odd so I double checked and got some new bolts. Same thing. Tried with three different torque wrenches. Same results.

Took the bolts inside to re-read the manual. Brain Fart. I had set the torque settings for AN5 instead of AN3 (AN3-5 bolts. Duh)

I removed and threw out the installed bolts and installed all new hardware at the corrected settings.
