Default RE: Propeller Torque and Hub Drilling

Until you pass the 120cc range, 65 inch pounds will hold them all. Few composite props have a true "hard "center. Most brands have wood core hubs. This particular brand usually has a solid plastic hub component, be it carbon or some other dense material. Clearly the hub composition does not meet the earlier standard. In this case the prop screws were noted after the fact as having been over torqued.
