Cool Piece of Hardware

This metal assembly attaches to the innermost rib

The wing has a rather large force on it (the weight of the airplane, plus G forces), so it needs a beefy piece of hardware to attach it to the fuselage.  This hefty paper weight boat anchor is the device that does the work.  it bolts to the main spar via the holes on the left.


Approximate position to fuselage.

A single bolt at the tapered end attaches the hardware to the fuselage at this position (top of windshield).
