Hi everyone,

Newbie here to Pitts ownership and the forum. A few of us purchased an S1S and on the bottom of the lower wing panels there is two bolts on each panel directly underneath the interplane struts. The forward bolt has a tiedown ring attached and the bolt itself is a bit loose. Attempting to tighten it does nothing, the bolt seems to be just spinning and not snugging up.

Seems to me there must be a nut on the other side that is just spinning with the bolt. I have not been able to track down any drawings so that I can identify what exactly that dolt does.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Brad
