Yeah, cardboard tubes need some kid of metal shim glued to the inside of the airframe to shear the pin. MACPerformance kits take nylon screws very well, too. I thread mine.

Well, not true, mine shear just fine with a cardboard tube and i believe others will agree. That said some kind of metal shim couldn't hurt and will certainly help protect the integrity of the hole in the tube and therefore the tube itself. I simply reinforced my shear holes with CA and they've held up just fine in ground testing.
thank you all I will be testing,testing,testing I am glad I live in farm country all so if you look a lot of people cant spell
