My thoughts are that in order to get the fittings sealed, they require an amount of torque that can’t be overcome by vibration. I have wondered about this question myself. Some military planes safety the fittings, but most planes do not. Apparently, it is not a problem, or it would be required. There are details of homebuilding and links to more homebuilders’ sites on my RV-7A builder’s web page: http://brian76.mystarband.net/RV-7Ahome.
