REFLECTOR: wing attach bolts

[Alex Balic]

I agree-

Each of those 6 bolts will hold up about 10 Velocity aircraft in shear, and
about 5 or 6 in tension-  the rear spar is grossly over engineered- which is
a good thing, but there are lots of other things to tinker with-

Each bolt will take at least 27K shear.  If the nuts were tight, I would
worry about something else.
