We had a very experienced builder go over our RV-10 recently, and one of the many things he suggested was to glop JB Weld or Proseal over the rudder cable attachment nuts down by the pedals. The reason is that eventually my foot was going to get caught on one of the cotter pins and either break it or pull it out.
Sound advice, but after he left I thought of replacing the castlated nuts with nylock nuts (and the appropriate bolt) and not only remove the problem but make it more maintainable. Nylock nuts seem sufficient for all the other control surfaces, so why not there?
