Default Bullet Nut? Worth It?

Hey guys. I got my stuff from OSE today andf was really impressed with their service. I still need some stuff and I will definately look to them first. I was looking at some stuff on there and noticed that they sell a bullet nut for an SV27, and I was wondering what good a bullet nut does. If it helps, I'll get one, since they're only like $6, so it wouldnt make a huge difference to the cost. Sadly, I hope that it helps, because I need afuel bottle too, and OSE has everything I need BUT the fuel bottle (fuel line, water line, bullet nut, etc) the only fuel bottle the sell is in a $30 starter kit. Any ideas? does anywhere else sell the nut and have a fuel bottle? I would love to know!

Thanks!

A fuel bottle you can get at just about any hobby shop or in a pinch, a medical supply store.
A bullet nut might cost you more than the price of it. If they were of any use you'd see a lot more of them. The biggest problem with them is that they don't like to stay on. If it's a gotta have part for you then the trick is to put a slice of fuel tubing between the prop and the nut. That does two things. One, it works as a lock washer. Two, in case the nut does manage to work itself off then the fuel tubing will help to keep you from losing the prop.

I see. I guess I will just keep my locknut on there then. I was just wondering, as it looks kind of cool!
