Has anyone considered safety wire on pushrods for preventing them from twisting? Most of mine have not much more than half the threads showing, so I'm afraid that they may twist all the way to the end, leaving only 1-2 threads engaged on the other end.
The RV-10 plans have the following instructions for one of the three elevator pushrods only (presumably since that one has less than half the threads engaged on one end).
Any reason I shouldn't do this on all of them? I'm usually not one to consider an unnecessary "belt and suspenders" approach, but otherwise I don't see much of anything preventing the pushrods from twisting.
