I use a Turnigy 2204-14T 19g Outrunner and a GWS 8043 propeller which, once I hit full throttle, happily flew across the room, leaving a scar on my airplane before it took off. Sure enough, it's not a perfect fit. Do you guys modify the propeller (add a nut, or fill with epoxy and drill to right size?). Or should I simply use two turns of the rubber band (I did only one) since it's rather loose?

Here's the motor:

Hi
Go to a hardware or automotive store and buy some "o" rings 5/8in. i.d.X 1/16in or 3/32in the rubber band that comes with the motor is useless, the "o" ring will cost you anywhere from $0.08 to $0.60 each.
