i think you guys are getting carried away with the amount of torque you are applying on those prop bolts....take it easy ! just keep them snug...
Wish you were right.
"Snug" loosens.
Loose bolts loosen more.
Bad stuff happens.

It will be interesting to get good comparitive numbers, and I'll do that ASAP.

"Tight" plus a half turn (the old mechanics' universal torque value) isn't good for these, that is for sure.

Haven't seen any torque numbers posted for either the DA or DL 50 prop bolts. Anyone seen those in print anywhere?
