Then >used loc-tite on the threads walt evans NX140DLWalt, group--exactly right !!! That is why I dry-fit EVERYTHING before coverto findthese kinds of things wayyy ahead of time. To some of the newer builders on the list it is a very good practice to not coveranythinguntil the entire airplane has been assembled in the skeleton form and this includesallcontrol cables, rigging, struts, brace wires, you name it--the whole enchiladaand you'llsave yourself mucho-grande in fixing things or making adjustments while you canget toeverything without the $ covering on there.
