A few years ago, there was quite a dialogue about this. One of the
participants was Dick Hanson, a man highly respected in Pattern and
other disciplines. The subject came up about a couple of individuals
who were looking for extra strength on aileron and elevator actuator
bolts. Dick said, specifically, do not get hardened bolts or anything
exotic. He said such material won't stand up under vibration nearly as
well as common rolled thread material, or, for that matter, some of the
standard Home Depot or Lowe's bolts right off the peg board. He said
that the ductility is what prolonged their life; that he had never had
one break. I believed him then, and still do.<br>

<div>I've been using 6-32 bolts to make the control horn arms for
my 2M setups so far. It seems like that might be overkill and that
4-40 would suffice. Is it OK to go lighter like this?</div>

<div>Ed I wouldn't do that especially on ailerons. I have had 4-40's
snap off like twigs on 90 sized models before. The vibration kills them.</div>
