The Ultimate Aerospace Hardware & Fastener Reference Guide - July 9, 2020

So not only are you guys designing a fantastic airplane for home-builders and creating your own manufacturing processes, you're taking the time to put this together, AND make fantastic youtube content! Unbelievable! Very inspiring guys!

[@FlyingShotsman]

I knew it wouldn't take long for the metric pedants to show up in the comments. Joking aside, this is a great tool, guys. You obviously put a LOT of work into it. Thanks for making it freely available! You might consider adding info on rivets in the future. Thanks!

[@DarkAeroInc]

Rivet one is already in the works!

[@simonwilson9610]

Thank you for the the reminder not to mention metric measurement. I do apologise. I do believe that there are 3 countries still not using metric. The USA, Liberia and Myanmar. Once again my apologies. I am truly amazed by your aircraft and your machining is a joy to behold.

Dudes! That is freaking cool! Thank you for making it available for free!! Wish I could like this video a thousand times!

this is an amazing resource for high school and college solar car teams. A lot of overlap!

[@DarkAeroInc]

Thank you! Glad to hear!

[@user-tv5dt3nm9y]

Good stuff. I will bookmark it for future reference. Edit: Just took a look-see on your page. Nice. I see many references to Tony Bingelis. Great! I have his book series for homebuilders.

[@DavidSL64]

That’s an incredible tool Keegan. Nice job!

[@cyan39miku]

Looks very useful! However is there a metric version?

[@AstroCharlie]

This is an excellent reference! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@DarkAeroInc]

Glad it was helpful!

[@scoot77777]

Simply Amazing very concise makes, hardware easy to understand! I like the fact that it show both metric and standard & shows the proper washers needed very cool! Ten thumbs up 👍🏻 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏻😊✅

[@simonwilson9610]

Brilliant. A metric version would be useful for all of us outside the United States. When you start doing kits, will all hardware be included?

[@vzmax]

Actually, I'm astonished that such a modern company with young engineers don't use metric ISO fasteners !

This is really generous, good on you guys!

Can it convert the units to cubits? :-P It amazes me that the most technologically advanced civilisation in history still uses archaic illogical units of measure. Nice work though and your whole project is amazing so far.

[@tuckpilot1192]

Actually, I was hoping they would have an easy converter into more useful units, like furlongs or fathoms.

[@JosheyG34]

Hogs feet is my preferred unit of measure for both weight and distance

[@tuckpilot1192]

@@JosheyG34 Once the install the avionics, I hope that they create a video clearly showing how they calibrate the airspeed indicator in furlongs per fortnight. Anyone can do knots, but it takes a special kind of pilot to do their flight planning in furlongs per fortnight.

Is there a way to download the CAD models from Onshape without an account?

[@DarkAeroInc]

This is a good question. I believe they may only be visible if an account isn't created. But they can be downloaded by creating an account.

[@steffenkuntzel6100]

@@DarkAeroInc I created an account but still no download option. Maybe I am not seeing it. Any advice?

[@DarkAeroInc]

@@steffenkuntzel6100, sorry about that. We have a link on the webpage for the tool that’s listed right under the image for the tool that states: “Click here to create a copy of the sheet in Google Drive.” If you are logged into your Google account when clicking that link, it should work.

[@steffenkuntzel6100]

@@DarkAeroInc I actually meant the CAD files you are providing through OnShape. Even though I have an account there I cannot download your models. I think they are protected and view only for all users that follow the link to the CAD download from the spreadsheet.

[@DarkAeroInc]

@@steffenkuntzel6100, ah, my bad. Looks like the view permissions were set to not allow for exporting. They should be good now.
