You started the name calling.:mad:

Talk about smart Alec, you always do these kind of things. Anyway may I introduce you to: Team Durango TD 390006 Thread Lock (used commonly among heli guys). Not harmful to plastic. And by the way, the hubs are made of aluminum.

Here we go again, there is loc-tite that is not harmful to plastic!

That I can't say, maybe you backed it out a bit to much or maybe you had a defect nut?? You could also apply a bit of loc-tite as extra security.

Yes I agree, it is quite hard to see the embedded locking ring in the nut, but it is there, made sure before doing any testing on these props. Sorry about your mishap.

Well I do have a set and they are fine. The props actually comes pre-tourqued to 50 cN.m from the factory. (checked mine and they all where identical). So here is what I did: backed out the screws 1/2 a turn and retightened to 25 cN.m and they are now fine without any vibrations and still stays...

You are correct in that the locking nut is in the bottom plate. The screw does go threw the locking nut, I think the poster simply backed out the screw too much, hence out of the locking part of the nut. When we are talking about backing the screw out we are only talking very little, less the...

Not correct, there is a self-locking nut. Must have been backed out of the screw to far out of the locking part of the nut.

Yes the focus adjustment knob only works in manual mode, and Focus peeking (3 different levels) is used to indicate focus. As for the EV: it depends on what mode you are in what you can adjust. Set to Aperture mode and you be able to adjust EV value.

Paste this in the Amazon finder: FIT TOOLS 1/4"(6.35mm) Adjustable Hex. Dr. Mini Torque Screwdriver Torque Range: 0.05~0.6Nm

The props have 2 teflon washers that act as sliding surface, but yes I agree it would be best to measure at a specific distance from the pivot point. But barring that, the use of a calibrated torque driver works quite nicely, I have used it and it works. Given the fact that the manufacturer are...

Phil, look for a tool that has the range of 5 - 60 cN.m, anything larger would probably not have the accuracy for this size of screws and torque. I can tell you that the props come from manufacturer set to 50 cN.m

I think I have to disagree with this simplistic thinking, you are referring to a heli that has one router and normally 2 blades. The I2 has 4 motors and 8 blades, if they are not tourqued the same, introduces unbalance and potential vibration. Yes some people does have a great feel and others...

Thank you Phil, yes that answers my questions. Was hoping that someone actually had a torque value for setting the props. I find it very strange that neither the manufacturer or the distributor, has any public torque value that they recommend. Since that seems to be the only reliable way to...

Phil, you mention that you check the torque before every flight, checking the torque value to me implies the use of a calibrated tool, what value are you checking? Are you just checking the props are snug or do you actually have a specific value that they are tightened to? I asked the same...
