There was room and I had additional batteries on board . Not a thing wrong with spin on props,
15" on I1?
how much clearance was there between the prop and plastic nose piece, zero?
Why in the world, (given the choice this time), would you go back to self tightening/spin on props? (because of the "time" it takes to install 8 screws??) That's nutz and misinformation!
You clearly have no idea how long it takes to screw in the 8 little screws, so I'll tell you.
It takes less than 10 seconds to leisurely screw in 2 screws. (more like 6)
Times four motors, you are at 40 seconds total.
If you are really old and slow, and you were give an additional 20 seconds, now you have 1 whole minute.
Taking 1 additional minute to "securely" fix the props to the motor is NOT time consuming, and in NO WAY should be used as an excuse or deterrent from using bolt on adaptors.
You're gonna be flying in the wind some day, and when you come to an abrupt stop, one of them props are bound to spin off. It's not a matter of "if" it'll happen, it's a matter of "when" it's gonna happen. I absolutely could not sleep at night knowing that I have spin on props with no locks on my expensive I2.
Lastly, it is human nature, (no matter what he subject), to knock the other options.
It's a knee-jerk reaction to "justify" your choice to others.
Just please don't choose spin-offs because it takes "too much time" to screw in 8 screws, (because it does not)
Just my 2 cents, not trying to ruffle your feathers buddy
15 in. CF Tiger props are awesome

It sure does sound like it. All I said is that whomever is screwing in screws everytime you use it a m1 screw 50x is bound to strip themHey, as long as you check your chit regularly, which I'm sure you do, you'll be fine.
I don't rip any option that works for others.
I just hope everyone has the same good luck I have had, and enjoy themselves.
I didn't come here for confrontation and will run from it. Call it weak, but we're really here to help one another out, (at least I am), and apologize if I ruffled anyone's feathers.
We are a brotherhood and should all root for each other always, no matter what

You yourself may be incapable of taking a screw in and out without stripping it, but the rest of us are just fine. If you have problems not using the correct screw driver, or improper technique, that's on you. There is no way myself or anyone else reading this will EVER strip the screws, (and they could always buy new ones if needed for .10c). Now if you have a problem with your spin-off adaptors, you will lose everything!! (so who is taking the bigger risk)?
I have been mounting t-motor props directly to DJI motors for over 800 flights. I never worry about them flying off, and I have not even come close to stripping any of the 8 screws.
You just keep coming up with excuses to justify your purchase of spin-off adaptors, (just like I said earlier) but you are simply just making stuff up. If your best scare tactic is to say "don't buy them cause you will strip out the screws", I'll take that risk over a prop unscrewing and losing everything.
You have no clue who I am or what I'm capable of so don't make your judgement calls . It's out of line . Just saying your taking basically one of the smallest screws in an out that many times your asking for trouble. There not made for that. That's what there stock setups only have you doing that when you're springs are wore out . I'd like to see you do it under a minute to by the way an be safe . Talk talk talk . I don't give a **** what you buy or how many times you do it. I read about someone mentioned running a set screw through the side an you commented about the threads wouldn't be long enough. So basically what your saying isn't far off the screw depth in the motor bells . Keep getting arthritis.I'm not down playing anything. But you

yes, mild, blue.
I put 1 drop on a piece of paper, then "touch" the screws in it one at a time b4 I screw them in.
I wonder if Ftolino is going to use thread lock on his spin off adaptors, or just hope for the best and turn his braking waaay down?
This is EXACTLY what you did saying we are "bound to strip the screws".
Please stop now, there is no argument here. You have made your choice.
If you are worried, or have buyer's remorse with the spin-offs, then don't use them, (and simply buy the 13mm top plates). Keep it simple

Hi Guys,
Kindly update me on the issue with self tightening props. I assume from comments here that the props were sometimes coming free during braking. As the normal prop rotation is accelerated during braking, and this should in theory only tighten the props more (if anything) what was the issue attributed to? Please let me know if I am misunderstanding the issue.

We agree on one thing . Yup red thread lock an hard braking
They don't come loose . Never had a problem. You can mount them hard by keeping them on all the time,unscrewing all 8 screws or spinning them on . Choice is yours.
Thanks for that answer. Possibly someone who is reporting this as a matter for concern could sound in as well.
