How much torque lbs to secure nuts to props?

[4th_Dimension]

I will be using my 1/4" torque wrench to secure my nuts on my props. So does anyone how a idea how many ft/lbs of torque I should use? I'm thinking it can't be that high,maybe 2-5Nm. Remember I do Freestyle flying.

Thank you for your time

There is no torque spec for prop nuts, too loose and they can come off in flight (that is why they usually have Nylock inserts) and too tight the prop can shatter at the hub in flight. Neither is a good situation. Just snug them up good and you should be fine, and ALWAYS check them after each flight to make sure they haven't loosened any.

Am I missing something?
Do you tighten nuts different for a particular type of flying?
Hmmmm.
