- I managed to solve this problem by using a "star" washer
- between the prop and the spinner backplate. Don't know
- if that is the correct name for the washer or not. Basically,
- it's just a washer with teeth on the edges that are twisted.
- Anyway, with this method, the washer locks the backplate to
- the prop allowing the prop nut to be tightened without the
- back plate slipping.
-
- Of course, I've solved the problem in a simpler manner. I don't
- use spinners. Safety nuts make things so much easier.
