Bob K.,

I still use the AN416's - 7 each on my 1-26.

Looking at the accident stats on the FAA database (also NTSB I suppose)
I see a lot of ASW-20's lost their elevator connections, but I suppose
that's pretty well known in the community. I can't imagine not getting
my (Nimbus 3) ailerons connected, it takes a half hour to safety
everything out there. I would surely miss that time not spent in
rigging - getting done a half hour earlier (1 hour rigging instead of
1.5 hours) than normal would be an alarm bell to me!
