Re: Hub man question!

Check it yourself. Using a marker, place a dot on the hub of the prop. Then place another dot on the blade area directly in line with the first dot. Run the motor until the problem occurs. Check the marks. If they are no longer lined up, its slipping. If they are lined up, its not.
