It should be O.K. Make sure your prop nut is snug. You did`nt by chance have it running in reverse ?
No, I don't think so. I was starting it counter-clock wise and the tail was lifting up at full throttle with the front landing gear blocked so I think it was rotating in the correct direction. Thanks for the help guys.

I thought I torqued the nut down pretty damn good. Should I use some locktite or just torque it down more?
