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

[rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Jim,
 
Just a suggestion. On the 40% job, you could use a carbon tube, 1/4X1/8" and should have plenty of strength. Epoxy in an end and you're done. If weight savings is what you are after, there are creative ways to skin the cat so to speak.

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.
