Let me put it this way...I am building an airplane and using the nylon
insert nuts for most applications with a few critical exceptions where
only a castle nut and cotter pin is acceptable. I don't use and
wouldn't even consider using lock washers on anything. ...
I don't know airframe rules, but if you mean "anything" within the
ordinary English meaning, that's simply silly...

When building a plane, if the screw or bolt is important enough to
have any lock washer it is important to make sure you use one that
won't come loose. If you consider that silly, do your wife and all of
us on the ground a favor and don't build yourself an airplane.

You obviously didn't _read_ or at least comprehend what I wrote...

I read it, understood it completely and really considered you rather
silly for having written it. You had nothing useful to add so you
wasted everyones time.

WOW. From now on when I go on a plane, I'm going to look to see what kind
of system they use. I really don't think I've seen a lock washer yet. Most
of the stuff I see has plastic push fasteners. I must be dense as a rock.
I thought they would use all sorts of fasteners depending on the
application. Now to find out they use only a few. Oh, dopey me.
