aileron and flap hinge nuts.

Castle nuts and cotter pins are the only way to go in my opinion. To much risk that the nuts would begin to back off and not b caught during preflight. With cotter pins, if they are in place the nut hasn't moved with respect to the bolt.

This like "over water roughness". If I used Nylocs it would be a worry in the air to me.
