My IA damn near stripped it to the steel for the first annual (which is still not finished). He is as risk averse as your local FSDO, but I sincerely appreciate it. Having said this, my plane sat for literally 10 years in the hanger when I bought it, and had very few hours for many years prior to that. If my plane had a full year of flying in 21, and it had an annual back then without any significant caveats in the notes, I don't think my IA would have removed the tips either. There are only so many cycles of tighten and loosen available to all of that hardware.
