Hello newbie here,
I recently built the ft spitfire (first build) and all things considered the maiden flight went decent except I was having power issues as I believe the prop wasn't properly installed and it was slipping on the motor shaft. When I installed it I used two of the plastic washers that came with the propellers and I put them on the shaft so that the prop was between the two of them, then screwed the nut on the end of the motor shaft. Did I do that the incorrect way or was the nut maybe not tightened enough? I was having to tighten the nut on the field as it was coming loose during flight.
Thanks!
