    Aircraft safety tip... Prop mount screws (Mods..please make this sticky)

    Given that these are small screws and attaching plastic parts I can see a post like this causing many to overtighten causing damage as well. Does anyone know the recommended torque to tighten the screws to?

    Phantom 4 falling from sky - prop screws loose...

    Anyone know of there is a recommended torque amount for these screws? I can see some overtightening them not wanting them to come lose. This is probably worse that then slowly coming lose over time.

    Bought my Phantom 4 from best Buy today...

    Very small world indeed! I live in Seattle now but attend SIU and was born and raised in Gorham a small town West of Murphy along the Mississippi River. Cool to see so many from that area here. :)
