Nobie question> Do you use locktite in the screws on the tail blades I know they shouldn't be over tighten but do you use it anyway?

i've never used locktite on the tail blade bolts. i suppose you could as long as you don't overtighten the bolt?

the 500 metal tail doesn't use nylock nuts on the back of the blade grip , the grip is tapped.

if you use the metal tail grips use loctite, my bolts would def. fall out if i didnt i run mine loose.

I use it, it cant hurt at all....... I just put it in the threads on the grip as not to get any on the blades pushing the bolt through.

I'd hate to toss a tail blade due to a bolt coming loose. Especially since it really isnt even tightened much,if at all. Loctite can only help.
