4 strokes-as tight as you can, use a second locking nut, don't sweat it.

Oh yeah, if you use a wood prop, check it once in awhile, as wood compresses with time, and the nut will "loosen". Use the proper washer.

.Hi jettstarblue,
I have to rate this topic because there have been a lot of feed back.
I flew last week and that nut was super tight.
Today I was able to give it a 1/4 turn.
So your right about the hub getting compressed.
I made a list for TH and I also ordered 6 props along with the balancer.
But that block at the bottom of the list that says TOTAL
But like John Wayne once said.
A Man gotta do what a Man gotta do so I gotta order all them goodies
