Re: [Titanaircraft] rear wing hold-down bolts

Good question. I will ask my A&P friend about the torque values for that size bolt. In other cases of airplane bolts, he refers to a torque vs size table, as long as it it flat mounted. You for sure want the nyloc to be set.

Hi all,

JD or anyone, here's a dumb question for you. Is there a particular torque you need to tighten the wing attach bolts to? I was doing a routine inspection of the wing attach areas yesterday and noticed the rear nuts were a little loose.

However, I can quite see how the attachment is done and I'm reticent to crank the nuts down too tight, for fear of bending/squishin something. It looks like the mounting plate things riveted and glued to the rear of the wing fit flat against the tabs on the cage in the back, and so could (should?) be tightened pretty snug like the front ones are.

Help me, Obiwan....
