Denny at Polecataero has a supplier who should be making some soon. Last I heard from Denny, the mandrels were done and Denny was waiting on the first test samples.

Are the wing bolts screwing into blind nuts which are mounted to the bottom
of a ply bulkhead inside the pod similar to the Supra plans?

The ninth photo shows what I called the plywood "floor" that sits near the bottom of the pylon. If you look at the enlarged photo you can sorta read where I wrote the locations for the blind nuts. You can also see the line that I shortened the piece to for my second model.
