Inquiring minds want to know. I suspect there is some underlying rule or reason, but in aligning my ailerons (-8) I found some nuts in the linkage were castles while others were plastic lock nuts, but I couldn't figure out why? If they're all critical parts of a control linkage, why not all castle nuts and cotter pins? On the other hand, if some parts of the linkage can use plastic lock nuts, why not put them everywhere and do away with cotter pins and bolts with holes?
I know this isn't random, but I can't see the reasoning.
