I spoke with the factory regarding this and their answer was very vague. I suggested 60 lbs/inch for the front and was told to perhaps begin with 50 lbs/inch and then see. Since both front and rear spar bolts go thru glass and phenolic, 43-13 guidelines do not apply here. Maybe somebody in the group has figured the desired torque.
