Thomason" Subject: Re: RV-List: Platenut Life --> RV-List message posted by: "Mannan J. Thomason" Gert: This happened to me. Had a batch of 200 that were over squeezed. Every one I tried would "cam out" and ruin the head of the screw. That's why I like the Torx head screws. Out of desperation, I ended up running a tap partially through all but couple of them. (Should have explained that in my earlier post.) Guess where the couple that I missed ended up. You're right, in the corners where you can't get a screwdriver square on them. They're a bitch to remove one eighth of a turn at a time with vise grips. For others out there reading this. In most aplications on these airplanes, the Microfastener SS 65,000 PSI strength is more than sufficient. In aplications that call for a shank on the screw vs. threaded all the way, then clearly the AN hardware is preferred. If you're new at building and don't have a lot of mechanical experience, when in doubt about a particular situation, consult someone knowledgeable and seek their advice. Get to know your EAA Technical Advisor Buy the local A&P or AI a cup of coffee or beer or even pay for their time and invite them over for a look at your project. Any advice you see on this website, or any other is worth exactly what you paid for it. $0.00 (Mine included, except for the seek competent help and advice.) Mannan Thomason RV-8 Engine running, looks like a real airplane! Flying soon. ----- Original Message ----- From: "gert" Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2006 1:18 PM Subject: Re: RV-List: Platenut Life > --> RV-List message posted by: gert > > Bill > > I have had batches where even boelube did not work, they were plainly > over squeezed by a bit.

Why do you "believe" that. On what basis do you state that opinion. I would suggest to you that the tanks skins carry considerable load and that those loads will want to transfer to the spar by the most direct route...which will be primarily through the #8 skin screws. _________________________________________________________________ New year, new job there's more than 100,00 jobs at SEEK http://a.ninemsn.com.au/b.aspx?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fninemsn%2Eseek%2Ecom%2Eau&_t=752315885&_r=Jan05_tagline&_m=EXT
