Step 5: Tighten Hex Heads
-
Apply blue Loctite to the two 6mm hex heads before tightening.
-
Tighten the hex heads by hand, ensuring they are snug but not overly tight.
(Picture Shown Below).
Step 6: Test Tightness
-
Check the tightness by moving the motor:
-
If the props spin freely while the motor is turned, they are too loose.
-
If the props do not move at all, they are too tight.
-
-
Adjust the tightness accordingly, aiming for equal tension across all blades.
Tips for Efficiency
-
Organize all parts (washers, props, tools) in a designated area to prevent loss during the process.
-
Perform a final inspection after installation to ensure everything is secure.
