Hi everyone new to I-1 forum recreational pilot (for now). Located in kansas city kansas. Recently got a decent deal on inspire 1 and mods are in progress. Got a 9000mah moded batt, engineered a payload release system (pics to post soon), now ready to install Xoar CF folding props, but have a concern. The mfg instructions didn't mention any specs or suggestions on the mfg hub pivot screws tightness or looseness . The q is how easy should the props move? I know you don't want them too snug as to prevent the centrifugal forces from keep the props at right angle to hubs.
They came pre-assembled and seem a bit snug to move, not difficult but takes (my guess) about 5lbs of finger pressure to move them in the pivot hub. My guess you don't want them floppy nor to tight either. Is there any torque specs or rule of thumb to follow?
TIA
FYI I plan to install them tomorrow for test flights.
