Re: Rules: Velcroing Electronics
Using velcro may result in weight savings compared to using machine screws to hold the electronics in place, at least if you are using steel screws. We switched from using #8-32 and #4-40 steel screws to the equivalent nylon screws a few years back and saved, as I recall somewhere on the order of one pound.
Industrial-strength, adhesive backed velcro should be available at your local hardware store. I usually get ours at Rona or Home Depot. It is also great for securing lexan body panels and many other parts that may need to be repositioned.
