Need some help here. Everything on this plane fit together perfectly, with one exception. The #2 1/2" screws used to mount the control horns on the ailerons are a hair too short. If only they were a few millimeters longer they would be fine. I've searched on Tower Hobbies but could not find any #2 screws longer than 1/2". A friend of mine went to the LHS today and they also do not have anything longer. I seriously doubt I'll find this hardware at Home Depot, so that's not going to work either. I've already drilled the holes in the ailerons to mount these control horns so I'd really like to find longer #2 screws. Anybody know where I can find some?
These are 2-56 and are 3/4" long
