How do you install the prop. The cowl is on the plane. The motor that came with the kit had two nuts and two washers on the threaded output shaft.
The prop has insets on the front and the back to hold the nuts. What do you use the washers for?
Does it matter what way the prop goes on or is it reversible?

Install it this way:
Run a nut up on the shaft almost to the end of the threads.
Push the prop on the shaft with the writing facing toward the front, all the way up until the nut fits into the hex cavity on the back of the prop.
Slide the washer on then the second nut. Use both washers here if you want.
Snug the front nut against the washer by turning the nut with a wrench, spare prop, or pliers, while holding the prop so that it doesn't turn.
