Default RE: prop question

If the engine mount screws are coming loose it may be due to unwanted vibration, possibly caused to unbalanced prop. Balanced props are highly recommended. Thread locker is also a good idea as gus pointed out.
I would like to say I have read article about using the prop to help balance the engine, but the engines they were referring to were the old cast-iron cylinder engines like the old Fox, todays engines are much more precise and don't really apply here. FWIW
