I don't want to appear soft minded here, but can any of you post a picture to show what/how you did this? I can see multiple applications for this type of method of securing things to the fuselage.

Horace, can you post a picture of that screw you are talking about? That may help us find them at the HW store.

Thanks.

Ive used these and "thought" that was what was being discussed here. What I use to hold the wing struts on my 92" gas cub.

Scroll down to where it says..."Threaded inserts". Basically is like one of those screw in drywall screw inserts that is threaded on the outside to screw in, then threaded on the inside to accept a screw. Obviously you would need thick enough material to screw in to use these. In the cub wings I had balsa block inside the wing to attach to.
