Small screws big $$

So,

You want some nice screws for the windshield of the HPR.. Ouch!

I just found some M1.4x8 in stainless steel with a hex head (sadly not button head) but the price is pretty steep... around 50$ for 30 screws, thats a lot of candy!

Just a thought but Silver paint might do better.

A comparison with the M3x35mm screw used for mounting the rudder


While I am on the subject you have a choice here. Mount the plexi windshield provided by Hp or just paint one on. I am going the paint route because I don't want to make a big whole in the top with the risk of water gushing in on a blowover. There have been stories of blowovers and crushing windscreens.


If you go the plexi windscreen route its highly recommended you layup some glassfibre on the inside to keep the windshield firmly in place!!
