DA100 prop bolt torque

rcflyer · 12-24-2007, 11:42 AM

What is a good torque setting (inch-pound) for a DA100 with standard 5mm bolts for a wood prop and a CF prop? What is your experience for a good torque setting? Thanks!

I do mine to 55in/lbs on CF prop.

I do only 35 in-lbs for a wood prop. I tighten after flights 2, 4, 8, 16 and then every few months.

I use 40 in/lbs. on wood props.
