Geez, it comes down to this; does one single bolt and spacer weigh less than
two?!!

Hi Glenn
Yeh. I think you did but I don't just what :-)
I'm pretty sure a bolt in double shear apparently is proportionately
stronger than two single ones in single shear of the same dia. I presume the
Australian authorities knew what they were on about when they insisted on
thisbut then agai

It's the addition of the tube spacer that adds the strength not the
length of the bolt. What it effectively does is take an area that has
two potential failure modes and replaces it with one.

My copy of KITPLANES came today and I did a quick read of the
article. With the exception of that one statement, I thought the
article was quite positive overall and cast a good light on the
KR. I guess we'll see what the public reaction is long term.

I'm not sure if anyone has said this yet but we can always submit an article

Mike,
I am not sure anyone on this list is concerned about the wing attach fittings
and bolts, we know better. I think what some are aggrevated about is the
mis-information or mis-representation about the wings in general. The writer

I think there is a change to the WAF system where a tube needs to be
fitted between the fittings and a single bolt is passed through.
I could be wrong but one of the guys that have actually completed one
here in Oz should chip in.

I met Bob Grimstead while in Perth. He's a nice guy, likes to write "flight
test" articles for Aussie and US magazines, but apparently he's not
qualified to speak to the integrity of the KR wing attach system. The
Aussies have dictated a couple of changes to KRs built and flown there, but

I saw and read that too. My vote is misinformed as no known failure of said

strongest in the entire airframe.
