All, As a general rule, any nut that is subject to rotation should use a castelated nut with cotterpin. Examples are the nuts on control surfaces that move, often the nut holding the throttle arm to the carb etc.
Newer planes often do not follow this rule due to better lock nut technology.

Looking at other coupes does not help. I finally noticed that castellated nuts are associated with a cotter pin in the parts list.
