RE: Tightening props on cheap plasic spinners
The fix is actually pretty simple. Use an external star washer between the spinner and the prop. As you tighten the prop nut the washer digs into the prop and into the spinner. This keeps them aligned as you apply the final torque. I used to have the same issue and fought trying to start out properly misaligned so that when it did slip during the final torque it was properly aligned.
