Really quick question

[sotomatic]

I'm in the process of building my first multi: a DJI F450 Naza. Just wondering if you guys typically use screw glue on the screws that hold the motors.

Blue Loctite, put a drop on a piece of paper and use a toothpic to apply. A little goes a long way. Don't get any on plastic, it creates a reaction not favorable to plastic.

Thanks! Unfortunately I read this a little late and I was putting a few drops on each screw mount. It made a bit of a mess and made my board look a bit Mad Max. I can live with it if it's just astetic. Is there any functional loss if I accidentally got a few drops of Locktite on my board?

I know from first had experience you don't want any touching the props - that will weaken and eventually break the props (bad news in mid flight).
