CHECKING PROPELLER BOLT TIGHTNESS
Over time, the bolts that hold the propeller blades to the propeller hub can loosen
due to vibration. To check propeller bolt tightness, twist the propeller about its
length. If there is free play, the propeller bolt is too loose. Use the provided 2.5mm
hex driver and wrench to tighten the bolt and nut that secure the propeller blade just
enough to remove the play.
CAUTION
Do not overtighten, or the propeller may fail to unfold completely
during motor start up, leading to excessive vibration.
