The FAA regulates AIRCRAFT safety wiring methods, and is where I learned the trade. While not getting too picayune (?) in regards to knock off wheel spinners, basic methods and applications insure the best possible results in preventing the loss of a wheel at speed. Safety wire should be reasonably tight pulling in the direction as to tighten the fastener.
I'm not grandstanding here, just trying to convey the importance of correct safety wiring methods. Much of this is common sense, but if this helps ONE guy keep his wheels on, then it's worth the effort.
