FES Propeller Manual Version 1.23 October 2022 5. Before placing spring washers, crown nuts, and split pins, it is strongly recommended to close motor openings with a tape, as show on photo in previous chapter to prevent that any of the small parts could enter the motor, if it falls through the fingers by coincidence. When this happen, it is usually necessary to remove and open motor, which is quite demanding job, so it is much easier to tape openings.
FES Propeller Manual Version 1.23 October 2022 7. Fix the spinner with six Inox M4x8mm countersink head screws. Tightening of all 6 screws should be gently with small torque (do not use high torque, as thread in the aluminum plate could be damaged). Please do not use any glue to secure them, as during rotation centrifugal force to the screws create high enough friction, which prevent unscrewing.
