? about stainless steel screw kit

[dwoodworker]

I just got the stainless steel screw kit from rcsrewz. they all look like machine thread. the original screws that go in plastic are a coarse thread but not in kit which makes me wonder if the machine thread screws will hold since the plastic was already threaded with the coarse thread. also I can't really tell what goes where. there is even some rather large screws that have some nylon lock nuts that fit them. I don't recall anything like this size on the pro. wondering if I have wasted my money.

no you didn't waste your money.
Take the instruction manual and go through and replace the screws one at a time. Do all the frame screws, then the head, then the tail.

there is screws that don't even look like they belong. like these large screws that the nylon lock nuts fit on. and than there is screws that look the same size as the ones that go in the frame in both the metal and plastic. but there is 2 this size 1 has texture on the head and 1 don't.

the rcscrews kit didnt come with any screws that screw into the plastic (self-tapper), but seeing as these screws are not critical I just left the stock ones in.

No the kit comes with enough screws to do the whole heli, the self tappers get replaced with the longer machine screws, they hold just fine. One pair of the larger screws if for the blades, and I couldn't figure the other ones out? Their are some extras in there.... I got the kit last year for my 500, and I have been using the extra stuff here and there for the last year.
