Default Single prop nut instead of six screws?

The prop compression and shearing problem is a wood prop problem. The composite props don't compress like the wood props, so they stay good and tight over hundreds of flights. If you use a wood prop and multiple bolts (or even a single bolt), I would check it frequently for tightness.
