Well, here is another subject...but first, thanks to al who wrote about the lack of kits and such...yes, the world is changing...but for me, building kits or scratch building is totally my only creative outlet and I love it...and flying, too....my basement workshop is filled with finished, flown,and busted, too, models and many still in the "building" stages...plus many kits accumulated over the years... NOW..for all of you who hold your wings on with those nylon bolts...I ahve been going to home depot and buying some nylon big washers, about an inch or larger in OD with a 1/4 inch hole in them and they really spread the load and keep the wing portion where the bolt is seated from being crushed inwards...but those washers at Lowes and Home Depot are not cheap. I thought I could find a box of 100 at the local bolt and screw places, but no luck. A few I found on the internet search will make to order but unless I buy 10K, it is priced out of sight. So..does anyone know where to find some of these nylon washers...let's say, with a 1/4 hole and an OD of at least1 to 1/2 iinches..I think the larger is better...I can't seem to locate any on my Google search... Regards to all and thanks for reading my rambling stuff... Frank Schwartz older (but not OLD) in Tennessee
