Thought about converting to nylon bolts, but was told with the size and weight of the plane, that might not be such a good idea. All my other planes have been con vertex to nylon bolts, and I'm convinced has saved me hours of repair time. Thanks for all the info guys. I'm thinking blind nus for sure, I'll have to think about nylon bolts. Not sure if the change will weaken the over all strength of the landing gear.
