This is also the reason captive nuts are common in instruments.
Without them the nuts would loosen for thermal entries one way, and
the screws would loosen if you turned the other way. * Good pilots
just adapt and fly fast without turning. *Less adept pilots resort to
loctite, stiffnuts, or periodic security checks.

Ever heard of Loctite?

Yes, you would know that if your read my post.

Actually, this is the reason why I finally stopped to thermal
alltogether. Since I've started to just fly straight, not only my
instruments stay in place, but as a side effect I also happen to fly faster.
