What size landing gear nylon screws?
I changed the screws securing the landing gear on one of my airplanes to nylon screws. Works great for limiting damage............BUT!!!!!!!! The first two landings with the nylon setup nothing hard sheared the screws ending up with a belly landing. Only thing hurt if at all is a bit of pride, since it happened twice in a row today in consecutive flights and it was windy.
Those of you that are using nylon gear screws what size are you using as 8-32 doesn't holdup on the gear I've got. The reason I changed is that the gear attachment plate on the airplane I am flying is a weak point.
Could it be the angle of how the gear is attached to the fuselage which is about 90 degrees to the bottom of the aircraft? The airplane touches down and you can hear when the nylon screws snap as it bellys in, not even a bounce.
