A three inch length of cotton string and a drop of CA can't be much more expensive than the plastic keepers... Everywhere I've read so far, has said to do something to secure the connections so they don't come apart. There must be a good reason for that.

Remember Murphy.. anything that can go wrong, will. An ounce of prevention...

I'm sure you know all the sayings. It's worth the peace of mind to make sure connections are made, and made so they won't come apart.

Several years ago, I was at the Bronx Zoo in New York City. I was in the Reptile building looking at the snakes. I came to the window'ed cage that contained a 10 foot long King Cobra. There was a sign on the window that simply said, "Please do not tap on the glass. What would you do if it broke?"

Well, same logic applies here. What would you do if your connection on the aileron came un-done in flight? It takes two minutes to secure it, and the cost is just about nothing. Like I said.. what can a three inch length of string and a drop of CA cost?
