Default RE: First Mishap

I got a question! There was a field discussion a little while back about the pros and cons of using nylon bolts on lfixed anding gear. Then a newbie asked why they werent used on retracts. My imediate reply was "they wouldnt hold up". But the more I think about it, maybe thats not such a bad idea. Has anyone done this to see if #10 nylon bolts or something in that range would work. I use nylon on my fixed gear and have no problems with it. Break when its supposed to and is an easy fix.
