Those of us who deviate from the KISS mentality, run the risk of introducing unintended failure modes. When those failure modes are single points, those points must be carefully executed. Just read a quiz in the AOPA mag that asked what the Jesus Nut was. Never heard of it. Its the single nut that holds on rotor head to the shaft on a helicopter. So if you have a Jesus Nut or many, you better pay attention to them.
