<DIV>The local ACE should carry the threaded aluminum couplers. I have found
these folks to carry many of the small nuts and bolts we use in modeling, in
bulk quantities. They also carry nylon bushings and washers of various
sizes, all usable in the hobby.</DIV>

spacers(about 1/4 round) they make great stand offs and lock the bolt
to the hard point with out having to glue them in. Also makes the
control rod stiffer with nary any weight gain. They make them in
several lengths, 1/2, 3/4 and 1" long.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Another option- buy 6-32 all thread at local hardware store.</DIV>
<DIV>Cut stud lengths as needed and thread into hard points with a bit of
epoxy.</DIV>
<DIV>Ive been using them for years for elevator, aileron, &
rudder.</DIV>

<DIV>Matt,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have used # 6-32 socket cap screws for years now and never had a
failure</DIV>
<DIV>with these. Buy a box of 100 about 2" long at your local industrial
supply</DIV>
<DIV>for about $20-25, cut of the heads, put a couple of grooves in the
non threaded</DIV>
<DIV>part for the epoxy to hold and glue these into the hard point (1/2"
dia dowel) in </DIV>
<DIV>your movable surface. Do no drill all the way through. Just up to
the top sheeting.</DIV>
<DIV>You can offset the hole in the hard point toward the hinge</DIV>
<DIV>line to adjust for proper distance for the hole in the plastic end,
that receives the</DIV>
<DIV>clevis, to line up over the hinge line. Socket cap screw are heat
treated, but not </DIV>
<DIV>all the way. They still have a soft core and will bend under enough
force, but</DIV>
<DIV>not with the amount of force used to move the surfaces.</DIV>

<DIV>Keith, please note that 4-40's are known to snap off a control
surface. It has happened to me. The break is a straight forward
fatigue fracture. If 6-32's are not useful to you, consider 5-40's.
Personally, I do find 6-32s do just fine in this application</DIV>
