    Anyone know what these are used for and how to install them?
    I couldn’t find anything in the build manual.

    Thanks
    Also what types and size screws and plastic washers are used to attach the battery door in a Series 5. They are also used for tail inspection ports.
    Thanks again.

    Wing supports for when the wings are folded.

    These attach to small tabs on the wing strut brackets. Then when you fold the wings back, on the fuselage in the front of the vertical stabilizer, there is a tube that you put a bolt through and through the short end of these brackets. These then hold the wings to the fuselage. You will only use these when you are transporting your plane, most likely.

    "Battery door?" Where is your battery located? On my Series 5, it's mounted to the firewall on a battery tray. There is no door.

    I have an IO 240. For CG reasons the battery is under the left stabilizer.
