Ok, then you're fine...
You're probably right about the economic impact too, but then again there're not a lot of AnP's that I feel comfortable about letting go over my plane with a wrench.
The airframe isn't that much of a worry since the tornado uses pretty traditional aircraft construction, materials, hardware, etc., but my hair absolutely stands on end when they get near the engine.
Especially prop bolts and spark plugs, the results can be extremely expensive if those aren't torqued right. I'm going to try to elbow my way into changing the sparks on mine this year - my plugs were undertightened last year when I let him do those. Better than overtightened and stripped but still scary.
