Loctite on motor bolts?
On page 31 of the manual, it does not mention that loctite is required when installing the motor onto the motor bracket. Is this a mistake?

Maybe because the motor gets quite warm and Loctite softens with heat? Anyway, I´m using no Loctite, but spring (locking) washers to give some additional security.

I guess it would be to avoid getting any loctite in the motor.
I'm not using anything special, in fact I'm only using 3 screws on my 2520-1360, because the 4th one would go right through a wire, and I can't be bothered to shorten it. I check them regularly, and I've never had one back out on me (only 130 flights though). I think the larger diameter means they are less prone to backing out.
