Stainless steel tie rods with rolled UNF 10-32 threads

[stearmoth]

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

Hi Hatz builders,

During the next couple of weeks my scale streamline wire rolling machine will be switched to make another row of drag/antidrag wires for biplane builders. It would be ideal, if somebody would decide to order a set of 24 pcs. for his Hatz right know. The wires are roll formed 1/8" square stainless steel (AISI 316L) with both sides rolled UNF 10-32 left- and righthand threads (threaded lenght is 1 1/2"). They are all load tested and overmeet the AN 703 spec. This is without clevis as those are easily available commercially. You can save 40% of the weight compared to a full round 3/16" dia wire. A set costs CHF 640.00 plus CHF 80.00 for shipping.
Please email me at hans.u@aeroplaneworks.ch if you are interested.

Kind regards, Hans
