I ordered some Nylon from Aircraft Spruce. The catalog didn't specify resin

content, but it came in as Nylon 42. The plans call for "Nylon 66" in some

places and "plastic" in others (such as elevator fairlead on the Front HT

Frame). Anyone have any thoughts on whether or not I should use it?

Kevin,

Keep in mind that the 1.5D thing is a recemmendation, not a hard and fast

thing. As long as the rivets are tight in the hole (especially in the spar)

and are set "enough", are not cracked, are not Bent or "toed" they will be

fine. That is unless you are building a show plane where someone will be

inside your wing measuring the "bucked" rivet head sizes. I bet you will be

fine!

Thanks Jim. Good to hear from the Basic sheet metal workshop co-chair. So

which would you use? I went ahead and ordered some -8's.

.5625-.287= .276 showing with -9's

.500-.287 = .213 showing with -8's

5/32 X 1.5 = .234

Kevin,

If I had to choose between slightly long or slightly short I would go with

the "short". Too long rivets will bend easier.

Hi there,

never heard about Nylon 42. Must be a part number of some sort. Check out

the material you got: should be hard with a slight waxy touch. Almost

impossible to cut with a knife. If you can determine the melting point:

should be above 240 C.

Happy building
