    Default Leading edge butt rib cuff

    Just made my inboard leading edge cuff pieces and realized i cant safety pin the wing pin. Being someone who will be folding his wings this presents a problem. Anyone else folding their wings and using these cuffs? I may be able to access from inside the cockpit. Or should i do without these?

    Ken,

    There should be two anchor nuts riveted into the top and bottom of the rib on each side so the cuff can be attached with a pair of pan head machine screws - unless there is a different way of fastening the cuffs on the current SS. I just remove the cuffs to get at the safety pin and the wing pin.
