Aileron push rod connection
Has anyone heard of or discussed a potential issue with the screw attachment of the aileron push rods. The plans don’t call for Loctite. I wonder if they ever work their way out. They could jam against the flaps and cause some real trouble! In view of the recent accident of Rob Hollander I...
