Are props on brand new planes supposed to just fall off?? Didn't think so.
Checking prop tightness should be part of your pre-start safety check. Neglect this and someone will wind up with a trip to the emergency room someday. Trust nothing, suspect everything. Particularly with an ARF built by some guy working for virtually nothing in red China.

I would also not trust that prop to be balanced. Every prop I've ever bought in the last 40 years needed some balancing work.
