Bolt Depot online here in US has them in stainless for 5 cents a piece. Carry a lot of other things too. Thanks again. Marc

No problem. You can buy any metric screws on ebay for cheap if you do not have it in local stores

Thanks Alex. I thought the 10mm one was a little short. Marc

Alex, If you could, please measure the length of your horizontal stab screws and let me know? Thanks, Marc

Hi Marc,
The builder supply model with two same length stab screws. Only elevator screw (2mm dia.) is shorter and it is critical because elevator horn has no through threaded hole

Re: Euphoria F3J/F5J glider

I have another question about the machine screws that hold the horizontal stab to the pylon. I have one which is 10mm in length and the other is 12mm. The 10mm seems a bit short. Are they supposed to be different lengths or should they be the same length as I would assume and what is the correct length? I have the V2 with the solid horizontal and vertical stab. Thanks

Standard F5J nose has 95mm from front to the canopy opening. It allows use 38mm outrunner (tapped) like Hyperion series and 38mm spinner. However, the builder makes longer nose as well for geared motor only. I have no data for now but may ask club co-member who has longer version to measure.
