Has anyone done any real world tests of AN bolts of different sizes? How much weight would you comfortably hang from an AN3 bolt, an AN4 bolt?
When I’m experimenting on my experimental gyro I tend to overbuild (use a large enough bolt that I KNOW it will not bend or break). But I also hate adding weight. Kind of like using too many straps on a trailer, just to be sure.
I’m testing by lifting heavy objects with single bolts in shear, but my hoist doesn’t have a scale. AN bolts are STRONG!
