RAIDERON - Be careful over tightening the Spinner Nut. Here's why,,,,,,,,

Over tightening the Spinner Nut ( Which also sreves as a Jamb Nut), will actually loosen the torque on the Prop Nut.

What happens is, over torquing the Spinner Nut will actually stretch the shaft slightly, which loosens the torque on the prop nut.

We had a long conversation about this one night at the field and the more I thought about it, the more I realized what the problem was. I asked one one the Mechanical Engineer guys at work and he said absolutely, over torquing the Spinner Nut will loosen the Prop Nut.
