Safety Wing Bolt Prevents Screwdriver Slips

Safety Wing Bolt Prevents Screwdriver Slips
Wrap narrow strips of masking tape several times around the heads of your wing bolts, and give the tape a shot of CA to harden it. The resulting “fence” prevents the screwdriver from skidding out of the slot and scarring the wing’s finish. Adapted from 400 Great R/C Modeling Tips by Jim Newman, Volume II, an Air Age Media publication.
