Check your Nuts!
I was able to get my wings installed with the help of 3 fellow RV friends on Jan. 29; but not without a funny incident. I had trouble attempting to get a nut attached on one of the close tolerance bolts. Anyone who has been there know how difficult it can be even getting into a position to get these nuts on. I literally took about a half hour struggling with the nylok nut. And then, out of the blue, I decided to check and see if the threads were damaged. They were not; in fact, they were not even there!! You got it. nut never finished the machining process----no threads.

Quality control? Thought the expensive aircraft stuff was supposed to be checked really close? That is funny, I can see myself trying to get that nut started

The comment about not running a tap through an aircraft nut is spot on.
Vlad's comment however, as usual, is hilarious!
