keep losing my prop nuts!!!

[cajundood]

Is there a trick to keeping the little buggers from flying off into never never land??? I tighten them down and they always work loose. have spares on order since it looks like i'll be needing them. tired of replacing broken arms & props too!

This. This times a million.

I lost two caps before I picked up a bottle of loctite blue 242 and none since. You can find it at home depot (in the paint section) and most hardware stores.

Get some lock nuts (nylon insert).

In the absence of threadlock, dab a spot of paint on the screw threads before putting the nuts on… once dried, the paint thickens the threads, preventing the nut from working itself loose so easily (but still allows a wrench to work without damaging the threads)

Hahaha, that or threadlock, just watch using locktite's extra heavy duty, might not wanna come off hahahaha.

went to my local HW store and got some m6 nyloc nuts. Also ordered some aluminum ones as well. Evidently don't need this on the CCW ones though....lol

m6 nyloc nuts

6mm? Mine take 5mm, unfortunately the home center generics were too tall, could not screw them down properly.
