Re: Flyng- Spar pin insertion force

 were supposed to transfer the 'load' to the fuselage >>

Well they will when you fly, as the upward "force will be with us" ,
normally, so I don't see it would matter much if the mere 170lb weight of
 the wings were taken by the cups etc. The pins need only be ready for the
full 1300lb. which presumably makes them very very stiff.
