Default RE: Engine Mount: Bolts or Screws?

Until my last build, I've always used bolts with lock washers & self-locking nuts. I bought a used plane from a buddy & it had just the machine screws into the motor mount. He said he has been flying the plane like that for over a year,no problems. I don't think I would trust that to a big gasser motor but for the smaller nitros, that's all I'm going to do from now on.
