[NSRCA-discussion] Method of mounting wheel pants

[John Pavlick]

I know that! That was meant as a compliment! 

Hey, I found some 8-32 "truss head" bolts at the hardware store today. I bought a few so I can see how strong they are. If they work out I'm going to use them for axles. The nice part about these is they have a really big head so you don't need a flat washer AND the threads go all the way to the head. In addition, they have a radius cut where the threads end near the head so there is no stress riser there. I also found some 8-32 blind nuts that are quite a bit larger in diameter than the kind you typically find at the hobby shop. This should all work out really nice.

        Yeah, I was thinking "mounting method"?  "pants off"?  Oh, we are talking about WHEEL PANTS.

            Because of this mounting method, Rex has not been able to get his pants off for years.

            I just glue mine together...   If you break the wheel pant, just grind the remainder off and glue another set
            on...  Pretty simple.  I usually use epoxy, but the last set, I used Elmer's Ultimate Glue (Probond).  I use the 
            lightweight aluminum axles from Central, drill the leg and pant... assemble the parts with glue between the 
            pant and gear leg.  After I adjust the attitude of the pant, I simply tighten the axle bolt and let it dry.  You 
            cant get any lighter than that!  I've been doing this for years, and haven't had any problems.

            I'm looking for a light, reliable method to mount wheels and wheel pants on carbon fiber landing gear legs. Any suggestions?
