Quick question [Link pending approval] We are putting together our tool chest and are wondering if anyone can tell us which fasteners are used to hold on the panels covering the wing bolts? what tools are needed to remove those? Are they torques bits? or the "nazi" bits?..

The wing strake panels are cross tip "nazi" screws. You will need at a minimum #4, #6, #8 and a #10 and even bigger to remove the panels to access the stab actuator bolts. you will also probably need a #8 hex (9/32 I think). I would definitely have spares of all of them, they tend to brake.

You should also have a wide selection of splined sockets
