[NSRCA-discussion] Best/Cheapest source of Titanium Screws

My motor mount screws in my Poland plane were titanium. Most of the other
screws were aluminum. Now they're all steel (to lazy to search for them). Oh
yea, where do I find the aluminum servo screws in a #3 size? Might go all
out this year.

  Adam, Earl – thank you for the links.



  Jimbo – I want to use 8-32” titanium screws for the 10 control horns on a
42% plane.  They are typically SS and around 2-2.5” long each.  I was
guessing that I could save about 8 oz or more or so by switching from SS to
Ti (about 55% - 60% weight savings right??).  While on the site, I figured I
’d see about other sizes too.

    Hi Guys,

    Does anyone have a nice/cheap source of titanium screws?  I checked with
United Titanium for 4-40, 6/32, and 8/32 screws.  Because they were machined
screws, the price was $6.00 - $8.00 per fastener.

    Thanks,

    Jim W.
