Just wondering what the general thought is out there about using safety wire on the control linkages. Some of the places where this might be considered include the bolts that hold the ailerons on the wings, the nuts that hold the rod end bearings on the aileron pushrods (both the aileron and the bellcrank ends), flap attachment, elevator pushtubes, etc..
The plans don't specificaly call out for safety wire in these places. Is anybody aware of any incidents of control loss in the past? Has anybody found any loose connections during annuals?
