I just got the wings on the previously flying RV-3 I bought. In looking at the
control surfaces like elevator the hindge bolts are fiber nuts versus castle nuts. Also is it not proper to bush-up with washers if needed to have the control push-rod ends griped so the movement is in the end bearing and not
just rotating around the bolt and sliding back and forth in the control forks
or alieron bellcrank. Please advise where most RV's require castle nuts, etc.
Thanks
