Default Hangar 9 P-51 problems?

I would pitch the steel bolts and use nylon. It has nothing to to with strength and everthing to to do with the metal bolts vibrating loose from a t-nut. I watched my friend's 1/5 scale TF P51 wing and fuse depart company in flight because both steel wing bolts vibrated loose. Fuse did the lawn dart, wing survived and he will never use a metal wing bolt again.
