Brief Description:  Wing Mounting 8: Got the 2 bolts in per wing

I finally got two bolts in, one top one bottom which is all the plans call for. But I put the two tapered pins in also so I ended up with three (3) 7/16 bolts in the holes per each wing.

I had to lift the wing tip up 3 2X4 widths to get the bottom holes to align. This must be the di-hydral. There is no access to the space between the wing and fuselage after it is fully mated. So any wiring with connectors I do will have to have the slack on the fuselage side, under the floors. I'm imagining a round multi-pin D-sub connector mounted right in the inboard wing rib with all the wing wires going to it and the matching plug on wires in the fuselage that I can reach out and plug into the wing before mating, and then pull the slack back into the sub-floor space. We'll see.

I removed the canopy deck and clecoes along the edge of the fuselage so I can more easily reach in.
