I'm finishing up my first real mid-power rocket, and have installed two 1010 rail buttons. I am under the impression that it may be better to leave the screws a little loose so that the buttons can turn if they need to. I epoxied the backings inside the body tube.
Two questions:
1) I am thinking of trying some low-grade Locktite (the ones used on scope rings for guns), but am not sure if I ever need to replace the button at some point, the extra torque needed to remove the screw might break free the backing inside the body tube where it isn't easy to get to.
2) If I don't Locktite them, are they likely to unscrew themselves? I could get into the routine of tightening and loosening them a little bit before each launch, but that is an extra thing I can mess up on.
