Oh did I miss a good one
Kidding aside, I only use the composite props for two reasons, first the looks and second is what happened to the Tank, been there few times and damaged some nice planes so I will pay the extra money for the props and might even sacrifice some performance for the peace of mind I get. I have never had a composite prop come loose.

I had that thing dialed in to a "T" for sequences while I have doing all 3D stuff with the Yak and not really dialing it in for precision. Oh well, I have a whole month to get er' dialed in!
I don't think you need to send it to DA, I got the screws, and the ones that broke are easily removed with an exacto knife, I have done it many times, ask Craig.

It tore up the hub pretty good around the holes with some serious burrs. Plus, the front shaft broke off.

Taking another look, yes you should send it to DA, it is more than just bolts.
