Oh Yeahhhhh
Remember when I was in VQ1 in Guam we had an EA3B Whale come back from rework in Alameda with a step ladder that was left in the fuel cell, that fuel cell in the fuselage was BIG you could walk around in it.
Sadly poo sometimes happens. You got a free ladder out of it. We sent one down to rework at Dothan Al. in 1985, They had it for about 3 or 4 months I guess. Pilot, co pilot and FE all lost after about 25 seconds of flight. As soon as they were committed the elevator locked up. They had rudder and ailerons........long story short they all died. There was AT LEAST 2 foot of slop in the control cables, they actually found extra coils in the belly. The leading edge straps were left unfastened, that created a buffet that shook the cables off the pulleys and bellcrank. The cable wrapped itself around the large counter weight on the bottom of the pilots yoke. They had very MARGINAL lateral control with the trim tabs.......in reverse. Since the elevator was frozen the little one couldn't move the big one so up trim made the plane nose over slightly.
They blamed it on Dothan for shoddy maintenance but also included the pilot for not trying to troubleshoot it further. Some went to the FE for not finding the loose leading edge straps. :icon_rage Sad day in the squadron and trips to Arlington.
One month to the day another of our planes did a nose up landing! Pucker factor of 10 but at least it was unavoidable.
Sorry, enough of my poo happens rant.
It's been over 30 years since I laid a hand on a hummer (weren't they bladder)?, 10 tank 4 engine recips I was on were 2 bladder and 8 wet and on and on and on. Nosepickers did fuel pumps, would you really want them to replace dome nuts? 
Some things one NEVER forgets about.
