Nylon bolt fatigue?

I have a Twist that I toss around the sky with some high g maneuvers. It occurred to me that if the single nylon bold failed in flight, it would not be pretty. Can nylon bolts fatigue with repeated...

RE: Couple Crash Videos from Japan - Eflight, Turbine, Trainers

As far as the turbine is concerned, why would you fly an aircraft like that in a place like that without first making sure you can land it there?

RE: Seagull's "Dual Ace"

Has anyone tried putting a DA on floats? I was thinking of getting one and trying it out, I bet it would be really nice flying off water. There are not many twin float planes out there.

RE: LT-40 on Gee Bee floats - update

Yeah, they are not the best looking floats... but they were free, which makes up for alot. I've got the great planes 40 size fiberglass ones on order, so I will be putting those on for next time.

I have an OS .46 FX on the LT-40 now, is there a prop that would be best for float flying given this aircraft / engine / float combo?

33" Gee Bee floats for LT-40

I was given these floats by a club member for an upcoming float fly. at 33" I'm thinking they are too small / short for the LT-40. Is it worth giving them a try and see what happens?

Thanks
