Actually, I bought Nylon Bolts 1/4 X 2 1/2 just like the ones that came in the kit. Not sure why the big difference except the one's at Lowe's just seem to be better quality. I figured that using the metal ones whould tear up the plane. Just what I am trying to avoid. Yep...Lowe's and Home Depot are my second home Hobby Shop. Here in Tulsa they are just one store apart. Makes for looking at both in the same trip very easy. Again thanks for the input. OH by the way Tippie, I did not take you seriously on backing off 1/2 turn, did laugh though.
