I have noticed that in all the photos I see of Ivo Props, none have safety wired bolts.
I was considering new bolts drilled for safety wire for my Ivoprop since I will be using a 9" - 10" spinner that covers the bolts and inspection will not be as easy.
Safety wired bolts will be a problem during retorqing period on a new Ivoprop installation, but after that stage I would prefer safety wired bolts.
The only info I can find is in a bulletin that says if lock nuts are not use to safety wire the bolts. I just wonder why this is not common practice on IvoProps even with lock nuts.
Any thoughts on this?
