Ron,
I've been playing with those a while back, when you had to hack out gyro's from
a gyroscopic mouse... You'll find some excellent information on the rcuniverse.com
forums.

I need to mount a few things to the fiberglass top using screws (lights,
seatbelt holder, etc). What's the best way to do this? Thanks!

I have no idea what the best way is. ;-)
What I do is embed a nut in milled fiber with the screw inserted. coat
the screw threads with petroleum jelly so you can get the screw out!!!
I do not like PK screws as they loosen up and if you insert/remove them
enough the hole will get bigger.

I've been using Nutserts pretty successfully. They work in aluminum
too but only recommended there instead of a sheet metal screw (e.g. gear
leg fairings into fuselage)

the AAT916 expendable nutsert tool works fine for the number you'll need
to do:

I haven't used them in an operational aircraft yet

Hey Wayne,
It's not slick, but works. For the seat belt and headphone holder, I used these T nuts from Lowes or Home Depot: http://www.lowes.com/SearchCatalogDisplay?storeId=10151&langId=-1&catalogId=10051&N=0&newSearch=true&Ntt=t+nut
Drilled for the screw insert first, drilled tiny holes for the "ears" that keep
it from turning, then glassed them in. Cover with headliner and you can't tell
they're there.
Later, - Lew

I held my custom overhead console with eight to ten SS screws that went int
o SS threaded inserts which I epoxied into the cabin top. If you have acces
s to a sandblaster to etch the insert surface even better.
Here is only a link for showing what I am referring to: http://www.woodcra
