My new Iris just arrived today and have started to put it together. I have a question to all you who have one up and flying.
The small prop shaft bushing that goes into each propeller is a bit on the tight side. Is this normal? Can it only go into the propeller hub one way? Mine seem to go in with the good side going in first.
Also how far down should the prop sit? Should it go all the way down to the bottom of the shaft? I don't want to force it if it is not required, but I think if there is some wear happening down the track the propeller can then be loose on the motor shaft and the nut would then not be holding it hard against the motor?
Any feedback would be great.

The IRIS uses APC props. I have been using them on my 350QX with terrific results. If the prop holes are too tight APC suggests using a reamer to enlarge them..

Good luck with your IRIS. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine!
