What screws I order here?

Simple question, these little wood screws for screwing into the wooden racks in planes… What are they size wise? Quite small? Something not yet in my screw box :wink: Might nip to town and see if the final remaining handy household place at lunchtime… Busy 3d printing bits :slight_smile:

The experienced @Steviegeek or @notascooby probably answer this in seconds :wink:

Maybe not ideal, but I bought a box of these for similar work.

Looking at these, but they a “one size” order, not a mix like yours…

The mix means you can use them for all sorts of stuff… and guess the right size.

Also when one strips a hole, you just put a bigger one in. :slight_smile:

Yeah exactly. like having a selection, though like with my M2/3/4 hex sets you run out one ages before the others, oh and heat shrink :wink:

I like the ones I linked have the “washer in”

Maybe…

You probably can’t wait till the weekend but I can give you a handful :smile:

Oh I knew you’d offer that, as you’re a superstar, but how on earth will it fly at 8:00 on Saturday morning, if I don’t get the screws until 8:10 Saturday morning :smiley: :smiley:

Thanks mate, ordered the last bit from above in the end (plus a few extra bits and bobs, the accessories in this hobby add up!)

Also just discovered, that despite being on a skid… The bloody FC is glued in… ergh. fun times soldering in foam…

This is my last order, GWR Fasteners…
I expect your size to be no.4 by 3/8"

but it would fly five minutes after we arrive :laughing:

do you want an early start then ???

Well need to check whether I can make, don’t plan around me. Though Karl said he’d need to leave around 12, and tbh I would be close to that.

It’s unlikely I’ll have the T1 ready by then, but will give it a go :wink:
