Jesus nut
Is this a "New v Old" thing or "cheap v expensive" thing? Or is it related to the task the helio is performing?

Mostly new vs. old. I'd guess that it's like Vietnam-era trivia for certain Bell models. I've never heard an engineer say "jesus nut" because it's just not a thing anymore.

Bell 206s, still used today, have retaining bolts. And while I don't know what the engineers call things, pilots certainly do call them Jesus nuts.
