RC Plane Mishap: EasyStar Maiden prop falls off

Not my week in RC! After losing my 3dHS Edge the other day, I put in the air a new custom EasyStar I made for aerial photography. Well on it's maiden I had the prop fall off! The plane was fine as I glided it in but my confidence is struggling. To top it off after not being able to find the prop, I broke my Traxxas Stampede's shocks....not my week.

how do you fix the prop on the motor, do you use glue or something?

was there a mix with the elevator/throttle ?? if not let me know what ya find out as you seen on my post im having the same weird type of issues

@bloodhound122 I think the prop just wasn't tight enough on my plane. I watched your video. Don't know if you had same issues as this. There was no mix. I was using a Optic 6 72mhz radio at the time. I thought perhaps it was a bad electrical/soldering job by myself but when I got the DX7 everything was rock solid, no extra movement. I guessed it was the radio. Been happy with the DX7 but may upgrade to JR 9503.

No need to do a mod on the Easy Star elevator ?

[francoishaha]

maby left handed screw is needed. The torque might loose the nut because it's a pusher prop ;)
