Hi Michael-
I know this will start a storm of incandescent blowtorches from listers, but
in MY experience, FWIW, I tapped every freakin' platenut on my plane and have
never, I repeat NEVER experienced a single one of them loosening as a result-
YMMV, but I must have installed 500 of the freakin' things (all floorboards,
tanks, interior panels, wingroot fairings, baggage bulkhead etc.) and would
do
it again in a heartbeat.
And by the way- my name is PHILLIPS and if there is ANY way I can avoid a
PHILLIPS screw, it shall be done- I've used the torx fasteners from
microfasterners.com with spectacular results, and you'll be glad you did the
same- no
gratuities from them, but I am in the torx camp and intend to stay there...
(Pheeew! Do I get worked up sometimes or WHAT?!)
I mean it-
Mark Phillips - RV-6A N51PW, 300 hours and not a screw loose yet except maybe
in the right seat! http://websites.expercraft.com/n51pw/
p.s. - I'd happily build an RV for you and every one of them suckers would
have a nice sharp tap drilled mercilessly thru it!
What is freaking? my dictionary must be from last generation?
