I agree with bruce88123 and will add a few things. Make sure you tug on your main gear before every flight. I had a problem 1 time where one leg came off when I pulled on it. I have not had a problem since.
I use thread lock. It's not difficult to remove the bolt later if you need to, just requires a little more muscle.
You may want to fuel proof. I had a leak and did not notice it until the wood was very soaked. I used kitty litter to soak it up and am still shaking granules out! Overall I love my NexStar and still fly it occasionally.
