Servo Mount Question..
This may sound silly but does anyone know where to get some of the little eyelets that are used in mounting servos such as in futaba.Just paid $2 for a accessory bag which included lot of parts I didn't need to get 4 of the eyelets.Are they really required as there never seem to be enough of them in my tool box.Some place where you can buy a bag of them cheaper than futaba?Thanks Bob Moodie

You probably just need a better parts box. It doesn't take too much flying before you strip a servo or two, and before you know it you have more eyelets than you know what to do with. Or better yet, build Spads (www.spad.org), and hold your servos in place with zip ties!

Thanks for the replies,Am getting cheap in my old age bugs me to pay tower that much just like the servos screws from that mini screw outfit for what tower gets can buy a 100 there in bulk thought somewhere there out to be the same thing for the eyelets.Minn Flyer wish could get over to your meet in Willmar sounds nice but long way from Balsam Lake here but will keep it in mind.

That metal piece has three advantages:
1) Prevents excessive squeezing of the rubber grommet by the screw head
2) Prevents wear of the rubber grommet from friction with the metal and screw threads of the screw
3) Consumes the gap between the screw outside surface and the rubber grommet inside surface
All of these are most helpful when in an installations that experience variations in vibration levels
