Torquing quick-release fasteners ? Now I've heard everything.
Well, only if the fasteners were actually Dzus type 1/4 turn or similar.
Some of the panels I had reason to remove from the underside of the wing occasionally were, indeed, held in place with torqued up screw fastenings. It all depends whether the panels are expected to be removed for routine maintenance or not I suspect.
