I'm guessing that's why there's wing struts How many bolts secure the

On the Cessna I don't remember how many "wing nuts" there were holding
the wing on, I just remember the very small area in which the wing
attaches to the body. There must be insane amounts of stress on that
small area of metal.

On the Mooney, there is but one single wing. The spar runs right under
the seats. No one has problems with wings coming off but the Mooney
design makes me more comfortable.
