Another one
I had another RV-7A built in 2006 come through my shop this past week for some panel work. Out of curiosity I checked the rear spar bolts and both bolts had fiber nuts on them. When I removed the nut I could see that the bolt was the proper drilled bolt! So, I replaced the fiber nut with the appropriate castellated nut and cotter pin.
This aircraft was built by a "professional" builder for the owner in 2006. From the logs it looks like it has had 9 Condition Inspections, by both the builder and then by others.
