I spoke with Mark at the factory and he said to use 35 ft-lbs for the torque on the LNC2 main spar wing bolts. This torque value is less than the standard torque for the size AN bolt. Due to the crush limitations of the fiberglass structure, he recommends using the lower torque value. BTW: This torque value is not documented in the manual.
