Right you are Floog. But, if both came loose one end could completely unscrew itself. Its interesting, as you say, there would be no change in adjustment at all, until sudden failure when one end lets go.

Re: check nuts
I hate it when that happens
If each Heim is screwed in more than half way then it couldn't happen.
It can't happen with the rudder.
Re: check nuts
That's cool! Just screw them in more than halfway (assuming you can and still get proper adjustment) and its failsafe, checknuts or not. Strength of threaded joint might be questionable on the end that is almost unscrewed.
