Anybody using clickbond nut plates?
http://www.clickbond.com/modules.php...&categoryid=88
Just learned of these. Are these acceptable for aircraft?

Clickbond
I have one in my hangar. It was a sample.
You can have it if you want it.

They are used extensively in transport category aircraft in non structural interior applications.

Just came across your post.. My Gears are just a turnin' with the application of such devises.
I would use these primarily on composites but could be used on pretty much anything that you would not need structural support. However, I bet with further support from their engineers, they are stronger than you would think!

I doubt they would be cost effective. Primarily used in composites and when installing a interior in a Airbus biz jet cost is not much of a consideration.

I used this kit for my wingtips. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Big time saver. Had a few extras left over that proved handy elsewhere.

I used then in my wing tips and wheel pants and gear intersection fairings. Very simple and very fast, plus less holes to drill. Also used their zip tie bases to secure wiring bundles. High quality, high production, high cost.

You can buy the glue in small packets .. I made my own conduit support out of .032 which I bonded in place on the fuselage ... looks very strong to me .. Look at the date sheet for the strength ... But you do have to do proper cleaning (which is included in the small bags) ...

Premature load crushes the lattice structure of the epoxy resulting in a ClickNObond.

I've used them a lot in the airplanes that I've built. Only downside is the expense. (and the glue packets expire over time and must be replaced).
