Looking to purchase nylon screws, new to high power rocketry. What length does every one use? 2-56 diameter if it makes a difference .
I have some that are about 1" long. I usually just put them about 1/8" into the rocket and clip the end off to use on more flights.

Does anyone use M2 (.0787") or M2.5 (.0984") nylon screws vs #2 (.086")?
I plan on using 0-80 nylon screws to hold a 38mm nosecone. Anyone know the shear strength ?
This is from Material testing lab & puts info in a more acceptable form, for number of pins, in rockets:

Its available in the link I posted earlier in this thread, along with a bunch of other useful information from Mr. Damerau.Great reference I will have to download that one.
One thing I have wondered is, are all nylon screws created equally? Are there different formulations of the nylon or manufacturing techniques that can affect the shear strength? .
