I didn't torque the bottom big spar bolts using torque wrench a few days ago. I will need socket extension to do it. Now I bought the extension and torqued the bolts to 39 ft -lbs (470 in-lbs). Actually it was not off too much when I torqued it by feel.

Then, I torqued the AN4 bolts joining the elevator horn to pivoting bracket and bearing. Took me a while to figure out a way to torque it due to limited access. I had to use a crawl foot on one end. Since I can't put a torque wrench there, I just torqued by feel. This is a place I will check before every flight anyway.
