My manual says to torque up the lower wing strut attachment bolts to 19 foot pound. On a previous plane that I built (not a cub) I was told not to torque them up and they should be allowed to float a little. Any one have any ideas???

It is in shear. I tighten it just over hand tight and then cotter pin.

Just a reminder don't if forget that if you haven't run the cables and still have to cut the fabric leave the pullybracket bolt loose so you can set up and align the bracket. Put a piece of masking tape hanging down as a reminder that it needs finishing.
