Tony Bengellis' books are a terrific resource on that. But their is also a TAB book on Homebuilt Aircraft Construction Techniques that covers it.
In general, firewall forward, use only high temp (all metal) self locking nuts. Had an A&P mention that to me after seeing me use normal self-locking nuts in the engine compartment. Also, if it rotates... it needs a cotter pin and a castellated nut. I go one further and use self locking castellated nuts. A bit more expensive, but if somehow the cotter pin comes loose... or more importantly just for peace of mind. If it vibrates a lot... (Engine accessories), you may want to safety wire it. I know that building your own airplane is "supposed" to be a do it yourself solo type project, but I can't overstate the help I recieved being a member of a local EAA chapter. You sort of pick things up through exposure through the years. On Sun, 22 Feb 2004 09:28:07 -0600, Steve and Lori McGee <[email protected]> wrote: > I guess I did not explain myself well enuf.
