Hi guys!
So I watched Joshua Bardwell's video "Quadcopter Propeller Anatomy for Beginners" and it was good information for the most part as a lot of it I already knew. He talked about prop rotation directions and I came away thinking that I would like to reverse my props to help keep any debris away from the camera lenses. Now my question is this, if I do reverse the rotation, how will that affect the prop nuts as far as staying tight? I know that they are right and left hand thread for a reason generally speaking. Also, the quad I bought came with what appears to be nylon washers on the motor shafts and can I safely assume that they are to be placed on top of the props? And lastly, how tight should I tighten the nuts?
I know these are some really basic questions but as a noob at this, I just want to know how to do this right. And BTW, I have managed to get the quad bound to my Tx successfully and also have programmed in the switch assignments as well. Bardwell had a video talking about a flight mode called "Acro Trainer" that is in the later BetaFlight versions. I have got three modes set up so far which are the Acro Trainer, Horizon and Acro. So I feel that I am making some progress anyway.
Thanks in advance for any advice on this. ?
