"I just wanted to write back and say thank you. I recently placed
an order with you for your Master Builder, metric, and giant scale
assortments.
While I was waiting for the glue
to dry on the wing of my PT-19 I decided to add two more
fasteners to the cowling on my Funtana S .40. When I
removed the cowling I found the extra vibration was being
caused by a broken screw on the engine mount. It was so cool to be able
to switch the engine and the cowling hardware to the next size up
by just opening my case and selecting which fasteners would work
best for my needs....
and I didn't have stop what I was doing and drive 20
miles(round trip) for the parts. I'm already convinced this was a
great purchase. I can't wait to put more of them to use."
Thank you for everything,
Paul Thill
Master Builder Hardware Assortment #5000
by Gerry Yarrish, Model Airplane News Magazine:
Let’s face it: regardless of which type or size of model
airplane we build and fly, we RC nuts all depend on hardware.
The nuts and bolts and other fasteners that hold our models
together are as important as water is to fish! But wouldn’t
you know it? Most of the special sizes and types of hardware
aren’t readily available at local hardware stores. True, you
can purchase what you need in low-count packages at a hobby shop,
but stocking your workshop in this way can be expensive. What’s
needed is a large assortment of common items selected especially
for modelers. That’s where RTL Fasteners comes in.
The Master Builder Assortment no. 5000 package includes four
adjustable containers and
2,124 pieces of hardware, including socket head cap screws ,
nylon-insert locknuts, hex nuts, blind nuts, servo-mounting
screws, pan-head Phillips-head sheet-metal screws, button-head
socket-drive sheet-metal screws, flat washers and lock split
washer. Screw sizes include nos.0, 2, 4 , 6 and 8 and bolt sizes
range from 2-56 up to 8-32 with lengths of ¼ inch to 1 ½ inches.
If purchased separately at retail level, all this hardware would
cost about $360.00!
If you drop any of these little fasteners, a telescoping magnetic pick-up tool will grab them for you.
No more evening trips to the hobby shop to finish that
last project for the night! This complete hardware assortment
pack is just what every well-equipped modeler needs.

“Wow,… got my 1st order very quickly. Thank you very much for
your quick response. I looked my shipment over and everything

Jon B. from Delaware
“Thank you and it is nice to see that “customer service”
is alive and well at RTL.”
Ed from Florida
“Having just gotten back into flying RC, I too suffer the
problem of not having what you need, when you need it and at
times, not really knowing what you need. That all ended when
I read the Product review of the Master Builder’s Assortment,
done by Mr. Gordon Banks, in RC Report magazine. …..Again,
Thank You for thinking of and taking care of us little guys
out in the field. Please consider me a customer for life.”
John L. from Georgia

package.
The Master Hardware Assortment features a wide selection of
socket-head cap screws, nylon insert lock nuts, hex nuts,

modeler. Also included are four locking plastic storage
containers and a telescoping
magnetic pickup tool.
