Hey guys,

On the S-1C, I was just curious about what you use for proper tightening torque on the wing-attach fittings, and also the I-strut nuts.

I'm trying to make sure I don't squeeze the spar too much (cracking it) and also tightening the I-struts too much, which compresses the spar where they meet.

Thoughts?

Sam
