Hi Hatzers,
While assemblying our wings we need now tie rods. Our scale flying wire rolling die machine will be set up for this in the next weeks. We are manufacturing the tie rods from AISI 316L stainless steel with left- and righthand rolled UNF 10-32 threads. Nominal lenght of the wire including threads will be 40", but can be made different if required. The tie rods feature a 1/8" square section between the threaded ends, which yields in a 40% weight reduction (or about 3 Lbs) compared to round 3/16" dia steel rods for one Hatz wing set. See sample on our website www.aeroplaneworks.ch
The min rated load of 2100 lbs is statically tested (each wire to be tested) and meets the same strength as AN 703 round tie rods.
We would like to know if anybody is interested in a set of tie rods. Price depends on number of wires produced in a row .
Kindest regards
Hans & Sam, H.C. #78 Switzerland
