- I use EZ connectors on everything from power plane to gliders. Yes,
- vibration may cause a failure but I usually check all the mechanical
- connections before the wing is bolted on. This gives me a chance
- to inspect the plane before each flying session. For extra insurance,
- I use a thread locking compound on all the screws so they don't come
- loose. If the screw heads become smashed from frequent tightening, I
- replaced them with a socket screw. There are better ways I guess, but
- this hasn't failed me yet.
