<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> 4-40 is the size of all the screws,
including the long one that's used to adjust the wing. I normally use a
4-40 nylon lock nut and save the small 4-40 nut included in the kit for locking
the 4-40 clevis on control rods.</FONT></DIV>

sloppy, then I would replace them. However, if there is a very small
amount of play up and down (1/64" or less) then you can usually get rid of the
slop by simply tightening the 4/40 bolt while holding the aircraft nut on the
bottom. But, like I said, only if there is a very small amount of
play.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
