Default RE: Prop Nut: Is there such thing as TOO tight?

It doesn't matter how tight the prop is, if an engine backfires, the prop will come loose 99% of the time. The double nut will not even prevent it.

What the double nut is for is to keep the prop from leaving the shaft if or when it DOES come loose.
